+Class
+    Foam::functionObjects::checkMesh
+
+Description
+    Executes primitiveMesh::checkMesh(true) every execute time for which the
+    mesh changed, i.e. moved or changed topology.
+
+    Useful to check the correctness of changing and morphing meshes.
+
+    Example of checkMesh specification:
+    \verbatim
+    checkMesh
+    {
+        type            checkMesh;
+        libs            ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
+
+        executeControl  timeStep;
+        executeInterval 10;
+    }
+    \endverbatim
+    or using the standard configuration file:
+    \verbatim
+    #includeFunc checkMesh(executeInterval=10)
+    \endverbatim
+
