NAME

6       wimverify - Verify a WIM archive
7

SYNOPSIS

9       wimverify WIMFILE [OPTION...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       wimverify  (or  equivalently  wimlib-imagex verify) checks the validity
13       and integrity of the specified WIM archive.
14
15       Specifically, this command performs the following verifications on  the
16       WIM:
17
18       •   Verify  that  the  WIM  can  be successfully opened, which involves
19           parsing the header, blob table, and XML data.
20
21       •   If the WIM contains extra integrity information, verify the  integ‐
22           rity of the entire WIM.
23
24       •   Verify  that the metadata for each image in the WIM can be success‐
25           fully parsed.
26
27       •   Verify that all files needed by each image are  actually  contained
28           in the WIM or in one of the WIMs referenced by the --ref option.
29
30       •   Verify  that all files contained in the WIM can be successfully de‐
31           compressed, with matching checksums.
32

OPTIONS

34       --ref="GLOB"
35             File glob of additional WIMs or split WIM parts to reference  re‐
36             sources  from.   This  option  can  be  specified multiple times.
37             Note: GLOB is listed in  quotes  because  it  is  interpreted  by
38             wimverify  and may need to be quoted to protect against shell ex‐
39             pansion.
40
41       --nocheck
42             Do not verify the WIM's integrity using the extra  integrity  in‐
43             formation (the integrity table).
44

NOTES

46       wimverify is a read-only operation; it does not modify the WIM file.
47
48       Even if the WIM does not contain extra integrity information (e.g. gen‐
49       erated with the --check option to wimcapture), wimverify may  still  be
50       quite useful because all file data is still checksummed.
51
52       In  the  future, wimverify might do more thorough verifications than it
53       does now.
54

EXAMPLES

56       Verify the WIM file 'boot.wim':
57
58              wimverify boot.wim
59
60       Verify the  split  WIM  file  consisting  of  'boot.swm',  'boot2.swm',
61       'boot3.swm', ...:
62
63              wimverify boot.swm --ref="boot*.swm"
