# fs\_setverify(1)

Enables or disables data verification for AFS store data operations \[Windows only\]

## NAME

fs\_setverify - Enables or disables data verification for AFS store data operations \[Windows only\]

## SYNOPSIS

**fs setverify** \[**-verify**\] \<*on/off*\> \[**-help**\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **fs setverify** command sets the status of data verification for store data operations in the AFS client. When enabled, each store data operation is followed by a matching fetch data request.  If the data does not match, the operation is repeated. The complement of this command is **fs getverify**, which shows the status of data verification in the client.

The default data verification status is disabled.

This is a global setting and applies to all subsequent connections to an AFS File Server from this Cache Manager. There is no way to enable or disable enverifyion for specific connections.

## CAUTIONS

The **fs setverify** command is only available on Microsoft Windows.  There is no equivalent for other platforms.

## OPTIONS

- **-verify** \<*on/off*\>

  This is the only option to **fs setverify**. The **-verify** option takes either `"on"` or `"off"`. `"on"` enables data verification. `"off"` disables data verification. Since this is the only option, the `"-verify"` flag may be omitted.

  `0` and `1` or `"true"` and `"false"` are not supported as replacements for `"on"` and `"off"`.

- **-help**

  Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

## OUTPUT

This command produces no output other than error messages.

## EXAMPLES

There are only four ways to invoke **fs setverify**.  Either of:

```
   % fs setverify -verify on
   % fs setverify on
```

will enable data verification and:

```
   % fs setverify -verify off
   % fs setverify off
```

will disable data verification.
