+.SH NAME
+dinitcheck \- check service configuration

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.\"
+.HP \w'\ 'u
+.B dinitcheck
+[\fB\-d\fR|\fB\-\-services\-dir\fR \fIdir\fR]
+[\fIservice-name\fR...]
+.\"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\"
+The \fBdinitcheck\fR utility checks the service configuration for
+\fBDinit\fR services (see \fBdinit\fR(8)), and reports any errors it finds.
+This allows for finding errors before they can cause a service to fail to
+load during system operation.
+
+Unless altered by options specified on the command line, this utility uses the
+same search paths (for service description files) as \fBdinit\fR.
+.\"
+.SH OPTIONSs
+.TP
+\fB\-d\fR \fIdir\fP, \fB\-\-services\-dir\fR \fIdir\fP
+Specifies \fIdir\fP as the directory containing service definition files.
+The directory specified will be the only directory searched for service
+definitions.
+
+If not specified, the default is \fI$HOME/dinit.d\fR or, for the
+system service manager, each of \fI/etc/dinit.d/fR, \fI/usr/local/lib/dinit.d\fR,
+and \fI/lib/dinit.d\fR (searched in that order).
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR
+Display brief help text and then exit.
+.TP
+\fIservice-name\fR
+Specifies the name of a service that should be checked (along with its
+dependencies). If none are specified, defaults to \fIboot\fR (which requires
+that a suitable service description for the \fIboot\fR service exists).
