+==name chkdeps
+
+==short-description
+
+Checks the DLL dependancies of a DLL or EXE.
+
+==long-description
+
+Outputs the names of any DLLs that this links against that could not be located. In addition the following criteria are checked to ensure the DLLs would load correctly. This is not an exhaustive list of everything that can cause a DLL to fail to link but it attempts to catch most of the common errors:
+
+=over 5
+
+=item *
+
+The UID3 of the DLL matches what is expected.
+
+=item *
+
+The capabilities are such that the DLL would be allowed to be loaded (only checked if the argument is an EXE).
+
+=item *
+
+The major version of the DLL matches what is expected. (This does not actually appear to be strictly enforced by the loader but it is checked for anyway).
+
+=item *
+
+All the ordinals that are being imported are actually present in the DLL.
+
+=back
+
+==argument filename file_name
+
+The path to a DLL or EXE to check.
+
+==option bool v verbose
+
+Display all linked DLLs, not just missing ones.
+
+==option bool d debug
+
+Enable debug tracing (only useful for debugging chkdeps itself).
