💖 FS_GETVERIFY 💖

okay bestie, welcome to fs_getverify(1) from the AFS Command Reference — yes it's a real manual page, and yes it's Windows only, we'll get to that, don't @ me yet 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

fs_getverify — shows you the state of data verification for AFS store operations. [Windows only] 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fs getverify [-help]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one (1) optional flag and she's done ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the way that fs getverify works is it shows you the status of data verification for store data operations in the AFS client. iconic.

and when it's enabled? every single store data operation gets followed by a matching fetch data request. and if the data doesn't match — not even a little — the operation gets repeated. no cap, it just runs it again. 😭

the complement of this command (aka its ride-or-die counterpart, its other half, its duo) is fs setverify, which is the one that actually sets the status of data verification in the client. this one only looks. she observes. she does not touch. 👑

⚠️ CAUTIONS ⚠️

bestie. listen. fs getverify is only available on Microsoft Windows. there is no equivalent for other platforms. none. zero. don't come for me, that's just what the page says 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -help — prints the online help for this command. and the way that it does this is: all other valid options are ignored. so like, don't bother piling on extra flags, she's not listening 🙈

🌈 OUTPUT 🌈

if data verification is enabled, the output is literally just:

Data verify mode is currently on.

and if data verification is disabled, the output is:

Data verify mode is currently off.

on or off. binary. no in-between, no situationship, we love a clear boundary ⭐

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

ngl there is only one way to invoke fs getverify:

% fs getverify

one path. one destiny. main character energy fr fr 🔥

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

no special privileges are required for this command. she asks for nothing. she simply is. 🧚
