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 additional digest (hash) types besides md5, options: sha1,
sha256
-f
format
- specify the input format, options: raw (default), files (restricted to
logical volume files)
-h
- shows this help
-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 chunk data instead of the buffered read and write functions.
ENVIRONMENT¶
None
FILES¶

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.
