        !            10: .I Clri
        !            11: is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by
        !            12: .IR fsck (8).
        !            13: .PP
        !            14: .I Clri
        !            15: writes zeros on the i-nodes

        !            20: After
        !            21: .I clri,
        !            22: any blocks
        !            23: in the affected file
        !            24: will show up as `missing' in an
        !            25: .IR icheck (8)
        !            26: of the
        !            27: .I filesystem.
        !            28: .PP
        !            29: Read and write permission is required on the specified
        !            30: file system device.
        !            31: The i-node becomes allocatable.
        !            32: .PP
        !            33: The primary purpose of this routine
        !            34: is to remove a file which
        !            35: for some reason appears in no
        !            36: directory.
        !            37: If it is used to zap an i-node
        !            38: which does appear in a directory, care should be taken to track down
        !            39: the entry and remove it.
        !            40: Otherwise, when the i-node is reallocated to some new file,
        !            41: the old entry will still point to that file.
        !            42: At that point removing the old entry will destroy the new file.
        !            43: The new entry will again point to an unallocated i-node,
        !            44: so the whole cycle is likely to be repeated again and again.
        !            45: .SH "SEE ALSO"
        !            46: icheck(8)
        !            47: .SH BUGS
        !            48: If the file is open,
        !            49: .I clri
        !            50: is likely to be ineffective.
