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"
