NAME
ewfverify --- verifies media data stored in EWF files
SYNOPSIS
ewfverify [-A codepage] [-d digest_type] [-f format] [-l log_filename]
[-p process_buffer_size] [-hqvVwx] ewf_files
DESCRIPTION
ewfverify is a utility to verify media data stored in EWF files.
ewfverify is part of the libewf package. libewf is a library to access
the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF).
ewf_files the first or the entire set of EWF segment files
The options are as follows:
-A codepage
the codepage of header section, options: ascii (default),
windows-874, windows-932, windows-936, windows-949, windows-950,
windows-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252, windows-1253,
windows-1254, windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257 or
windows-1258
-d digest_type
calculate additional digest (hash) types besides md5, options:
sha1, sha256
-f format
specify the input format, options: raw (default), files
(restricted to logical volume files)
-h shows this help
-l log_filename
logs verification errors and the digest (hash) to the log
filename
-p process_buffer_size
the process buffer size (default is the chunk size)
-q quiet shows minimal status information
-v verbose output to stderr
-V print version
-w zero sectors on checksum error (mimic EnCase like behavior)
-x use the chunk data instead of the buffered read and write
functions.
ENVIRONMENT
None
FILES
None
EXAMPLES
ewfverify can either verify the raw storage media data or logical file
data stored in EWF file(s).
To verify the raw storage media data:
# ewfverify floppy.E01

DIAGNOSTICS
Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose
output -v is enabled. Verbose and debug output are only printed when
enabled at compilation.
