NAME

4     ewfverify — verifies media data stored in EWF files

SYNOPSIS

7     ewfverify [-d digest_type] [-hqvV] ewf_files

DESCRIPTION

10     ewfverify is a utility to verify media data stored in EWF files.
11
12     ewfverify is part of the libewf package.  libewf is a library to support
13     the Expert Witness Compression Format (EWF).  libewf supports both the
14     SMART format (EWF-S01) and the EnCase format (EWF-E01).  libewf currently
15     does not support the Logical Volume format (EWF-L01).  EWF-X is an expir‐
16     imental format intended for testing purposes to enhance the EWF format.
17     libewf allows you to read and write media data in the EWF format.
18
19     ewf_files are the EWF file(s) to read the meta data from.
20
21     The options are as follows:
22
23     -d digest_type
24             calculate additional digest (hash) types besides md5, options:
25             sha1
26
27     -h      shows this help
28
29     -q      quiet shows no status information
30
31     -v      verbose output to stderr
32
33     -V      print version
