integrit(1)

💖 integrit(1) — like, the file integrity verification system bestie 💖

okay so this is integrit(1), from the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages, and it's here to tell you if somebody's been messing with your files. 🕵️♀️✨

⚠️ real talk: this manpage is a brief reference and may be out of date. The definitive texinfo documentation should be viewable by running info integrit. So if something looks sus, go check that, fr fr. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

integrit -C conffile OPTIONS

integrit -V

integrit -h

like. that's the whole vibe. give it a config file, tell it what to do, boom. 🎀

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -C — Specify conffile as the configuration file for integrit. yes bestie, this is THE one, you basically always need it. 🫶
• -V — Show integrit version information and exit. short and sweet, she's done after this. 👑
• -h — Show brief help. when you're lost, she's got you. 🙈
• -x — Produce XML output. for when you want your integrity data in ✨machine-readable slay format✨. 🔥
• -u — Do update — create a new database that reflects the current state of the system. this is you taking the selfie 📸 so future-you can compare.
• -c — Do check — compare the current state of the system to a database containing a snapshot of the system when it was in a known state. this is you comparing the selfie to the mirror. 💀
• -N — Manually override specification of the current ("New") database. Normally it is set in the configuration file. it's giving "I'll do it myself" energy.
• -O — Manually override specification of the known ("Old") database. Normally it is set in the configuration file. same vibe, other database. 🦋
• -q — Lower integrit's level of verbosity. shhh. 🤫
• -v — Increase integrit's level of verbosity. TELL ME EVERYTHING. 😭🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The integrit system detects intrusion by detecting when trusted files have been altered. no cap, that's literally the whole point of her existence and she ate. 💅

By creating an integrit database (update mode) that is a snapshot of a host system in a known state, the host's files can later be verified as unaltered by running integrit in check mode to compare current state to the recorded known state. so: snapshot when everything's chill, then vibe check it later. 🌈

and the iconique part: integrit can do a check and an update simultaneously. multitasking queen. 👑✨
