>Description:

While looking for a way to find out if a file system is clean (before
mounting it), I noticed it wasn't documented in the man-page.


EXIT STATUS
     The fsck_ffs utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

     If the option -F is used, fsck_ffs exits 7 if the file system is clean.
