Validating File Operations with the Verify Command
The Verify command is very simple. It??™s an on or off setting that you use to tell the command processor
how to interact with your files. Setting Verify on forces the command processor to check
every file that it writes for errors before proceeding with the next file. However, using verify exacts
a significant performance penalty, so the default setting is to have it off. The verify setting is a
remnant from the early days of the PC when hard drives were less reliable than they are now. This
command uses the following syntax:
VERIFY [ON | OFF]
Executing Verify by itself will display the current verify setting status. Generally, you??™ll keep
the verify setting off unless you??™re copying files that require absolute verification. For example, you
might want to use this setting when creating a disk for a presentation at work where errors aren??™t
tolerated.
