     VERIFY(DOS)       UNIX System V        VERIFY(DOS)



     Name
          verify - turns the verify switch on or off when writing to a
          disk


     Syntax
          verify [on] [off]


     Description
          You can use verify to verify that  your  files  are  written
          correctly to the disk (no bad sectors, for example).  MS-DOS
          performs a verify each time you write data to a  disk.   You
          will  receive  an  error message only if MS-DOS is unable to
          successfully write your data to a disk.


     Examples
          If you want to know  the  current  setting  of  verify,  use
          verify without an option:

               verify

          verify on remains in effect until a program changes it (by a
          Set Verify system call), or until you enter the following:

               verify off

          This command has the same purpose as the /v  switch  in  the
          copy command.


     Notes
          verify is an internal command.
