Only the formats @code{qcow2}, @code{qed} and @code{vdi} support
consistency checks.
+In case the image does not have any inconsistencies, check exits with @code{0}.
+Other exit codes indicate the kind of inconsistency found or if another error
+occurred. The following table summarizes all exit codes of the check subcommand:
+
+@table @option
+
+@item 0
+Check completed, the image is (now) consistent
+@item 1
+Check not completed because of internal errors
+@item 2
+Check completed, image is corrupted
+@item 3
+Check completed, image has leaked clusters, but is not corrupted
+@item 63
+Checks are not supported by the image format
+
+@end table
+
+If @code{-r} is specified, exit codes representing the image state refer to the
+state after (the attempt at) repairing it. That is, a successful @code{-r all}
+will yield the exit code 0, independently of the image state before.
