NAME
ewfverify - verifies media data stored in EWF files
SYNOPSIS
ewfverify [-A codepage] [-d digest_type] [-f format] [-j jobs]
[-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 digest (hash) types, options: md5, sha1, sha256. By
default ewfverify will calculate the digest (hash) types that are
stored in the EWF segment files or MD5 if none.
-f format
specify the input format, options: raw (default), files (restricted
to logical volume files)
-h shows this help
-j jobs
the number of concurrent processing jobs (threads), where a number
of 0 represents single-threaded mode (default is 4 if multi-
threaded mode is supported).
-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 data chunk functions 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
ewfverify 20110801

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.
