- COMMAND: VERIFY
-
- FUNCTION: Controls the flag that tells DOS whether or not to verify that data
- has been correctly written to a disk.
-
- FORMAT: VERIFY [ON!OFF]
-
- TYPE: DOS internal command
-
- REMARKS: ON turns the verify feature on, while OFF turns it off.
- Omitting the option causes the current state of the verify flag to
- be displayed. The verify feature remains on until it is turned off
- by a SET VERIFY system call or a VERIFY OFF command. When verify is
- on, DOS performs a verify operation following each disk write
- operation, to check that the data just written can be read without
- error. The /V option of COPY does the same thing for an individual
- copy operation.
