Is there a script that can iterate over all pc files to find the ones that match a pool file?

I've found some corrupt pool files and am trying to figure out my exposure. What does BPC do when it encounters such a bad file (when its checksum doesn't match its name) during the nightly scan?

Also, how does BPC know that a pool file is no longer in use? Is there a count of how many pc files are using it?
