\fBwfdbcheckdb\fR reads the lists of records and annotators (the
`RECORDS' and `ANNOTATORS' files) for a WFDB database, and checks that
each record in the database is correctly formatted.  It also checks
for various common mistakes that can cause usability and
interoperability problems (even though the records may be
