wimlib-imagex-verify(1)

NAME

   wimlib-imagex-verify - Verify a WIM file

SYNOPSIS

   wimlib-imagex verify WIMFILE [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

   wimlib-imagex  verify checks the validity of the specified WIM archive.
   This command is also available as simply wimverify if  the  appropriate
   hard link or batch file has been installed.

   Specifically,  this command performs the following verifications on the
   WIM archive:

   *   Verify that the WIM file can be successfully opened, which involves
       parsing the header, blob table, and XML data.

   *   If  the  WIM  archive  contains  an  integrity  table,  verify  the
       integrity of the entire WIM archive.  Otherwise, print a warning.

   *   Verify that the metadata for each image in the WIM archive  can  be
       successfully parsed.

   *   Verify  that  all files needed by each image are actually contained
       in the WIM archive or in one of the WIM archives referenced by  the
       --ref option.

   *   Verify  that  all  files  contained  in  the  WIM  archive  can  be
       successfully decompressed, with matching cryptographic checksums.

OPTIONS

   --ref="GLOB"
         File glob of additional WIMs or  split  WIM  parts  to  reference
         resources  from.   This  option  can be specified multiple times.
         Note: GLOB is listed in  quotes  because  it  is  interpreted  by
         wimlib-imagex  and may need to be quoted to protect against shell
         expansion.

   --nocheck
         Do not check the WIM file's contents against its integrity  table
         (if it has one).

NOTES

   This is a read-only command.  It will never modify the WIM file.

   In  the  future, this command might do more thorough verifications than
   it does now.

EXAMPLES

   Verify the WIM file 'boot.wim':

          wimverify boot.wim

   Verify the  split  WIM  file  consisting  of  'boot.swm',  'boot2.swm',
   'boot3.swm', ...:

          wimverify boot.swm --ref="boot*.swm"
