the IDB	information about filenames. It takes approximately
	5-10 minutes for a medium size IDB. To perform it, run
	the omnidbcheck -core command.
Filenames	Checks IDB information about filenames. It takes
check	approximately one hour for a medium size IDB. To
	perform it, run the omnidbcheck -filename
	command.
