kverify(1)                        2/4/92                         kverify(1)

NAME
     kverify - validate kanji code files

SYNOPSIS
     kverify [-q] [-i ifmt] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
     kverify checks the named files (stdin if none) for invalid kanji  byte
     sequences.  For  each  file,  kverify  prints  the name of the file on
     stdout, followed by "OK" if no errors were found, or the  byte  offset
     at  which  a  problem was detected. The encoding of the input files is
     detected automatically.

OPTIONS
     -i ifmt
          With the -i option set, kverify checks that the input  files  are
          valid  for encoding ifmt (as opposed to merely checking that they
          are valid for one of the five encodings). Valid formats are:

               jis    - (New) JIS
               ojis   - Old JIS
               njis   - NEC-JIS
               sjis   - Shift-JIS
               euc    - Extended UNIX Code

     -q   Report the validity of the input via the exit status  instead  of
          writing a message to stdout. Exit status is 0 if no problems were
          found, 1 otherwise. This option can only be used  with  a  single
          input file or stdin.

DIAGNOSTICS
     Normally, kverify returns an exit status of 0 (if the -q option is not
     set).  Any  errors  produce  a diagnostic on stderr and return an exit
     status of 99.

NOTES
     If the -q option is not set and input  is  read  from  stdin,  kverify
     copies  the  input  to  a temporary file to be able to report accurate
     byte offsets.

ENVIRONMENT
     TMPDIR
          Directory for temporary file.
