The man page currently says:
"Fsck is used to check and optionally repair one or more Linux file
systems"
That's not technically correct since in actual practice is fsck with
no options will repair the file system. This becomes clear if you
read the definitions of the -y, -n, and -a/-p options.
So probably the best thing to do is delete the word "optionally" in
the above statement.
