Reading fsck(8) and fsck_ffs(8) reveals:
The fsck command invokes file-system-specific programs to check the
special devices listed in the fstab(5) file or on the command line
for consistency.
and
fsck_ffs performs interactive file system consistency checks and
repairs for each file system specified. It is normally invoked
from fsck(8).
To the best of my knowledge, `fsck` invokes the correct "sub-command"
for the filesystem at hand, be it `fsck_msdos` for FAT partitions,
`fsck_ext2fs` for ext2 partitions, `fsck_ffs` for ffs partitions, etc.
Best wishes,
Ryan
