NAME

     ewfverify -- verifies media data stored in EWF files

SYNOPSIS

     ewfverify [-A codepage] [-d digest_type] [-l log_filename] [-p process_buffer_size] [-hqvVw] 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 support the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF).  libewf supports both
     the SMART format (EWF-S01) and the EnCase format (EWF-E01).  libewf currently does not support the Logical Volume format (EWF-L01). EWF-X is
     an expirimental format intended for testing purposes to enhance the EWF format.  libewf allows you to read and write media data in the EWF
     format.

     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-1250, windows-1251, windows-1252, windows-1253, win-
	     dows-1254, windows-1255, windows-1256, windows-1257, windows-1258

     -d digest_type
	     calculate additional digest (hash) types besides md5, options: sha1

     -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 no status information

     -v      verbose output to stderr

     -V      print version

     -w      wipe sectors on CRC error (mimic EnCase like behavior)

     Read: 1.4 MiB (1474560 bytes) in 1 second(s) with 1 MiB/s (1474560 bytes/second).

     MD5 hash stored in file:	     ae1ce8f5ac079d3ee93f97fe3792bda3
     MD5 hash calculated over data:  ae1ce8f5ac079d3ee93f97fe3792bda3

     ewfverify: SUCCESS

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.
