VERIFY+Verifying Data

Verifies that data was correctly written on a disk.

VERSION

PC-DOS 2.0+

MS-DOS equivalent: VERIFY (2.0+)

TYPE

Internal

SYNTAX

VERIFY [ON]

or

VERIFY [OFF]

OPTIONS

ON Turns verification on until the system

is rebooted.

OFF Turns verification off once it has been

turned on.

The VERIFY command is used to confirm that information is

written correctly each time the system writes information.

EXAMPLE

VERIFY

displays whether VERIFY is currently turned on or off.

NOTE

With VERIFY on, DOS checks information each time it writes

it to disk, which can slow writing speed slightly. You can also

use the COPY command with the /V option if you prefer to verify

on a case-by-case basis.
