Verify
Purpose:
Turns the verify switch on or off when writing to a disk.
Syntax:
verify [ON)
or
verify [OFF)
Comments:
You can use this command to verify that your files are written
correctly to the disk (no bad sectors, for example). MS· DOS per-
forms a
verify each time you write data to a disk. You will
receive an
error message only if MS-DOS is unable to successfully
write your data to a disk.
Examples:
If you want to know the current setting of verify, use the verify
command without an option:
verify
Verify ON remains in effect until a program changes it (by a Set
Verify system call), or until you type the following:
verify OFF
This command has the same purpose as the Iv switch in the copy
command.
