- ----------------------- VERIFY - Internal DOS Command ------------------------
-
- VERIFY verifies that data written to disk can be read without error.
-
- FORMAT: VERIFY [ON | OFF]
-
- REMARKS:
-
- ON - causes a verify operation following each write operation to disk. This
- ensures that the data just written can be read without error. The
- verification operation increases the time it takes to write data to
- disk. Verification stays in effect until a VERIFY OFF or SET VERIFY
- System Call is done.
-
- OFF - turns off disk write verification.
-
- VERIFY with no parameter displays the current VERIFY state (on or off).
-
- This command does not ensure that the contents of the written data are
- correct. It only ensures that the data can be read without error.
-
- EXAMPLE:
-
- Turn on verification of data written to disk:
