MTBL_VERIFY(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

mtbl_verify — the lil bestie that checks the integrity of an MTBL file's data and index blocks 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mtbl_verify FILE [FILE]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, mtbl_verify(1) is literally the vibe-checker for your MTBL files. it verifies the embedded data and index block checksums in the MTBL files you hand it on the command line. no cap, that's the whole job.

Every filename you list on the command line gets verified, and a message telling you whether each file passed or failed gets printed to stdout. 🫶 If a file fails?? bestie, it does not hold back — extra info about the failure gets printed to stderr so you can see exactly what went down. 😭

And if stdout is a terminal, or if you pass the -p option, it prints periodic progress indications for successful verification — for every 10,000 blocks and at the final block. 👑 so you're never just sitting there staring at a frozen cursor wondering if it's working. it's giving considerate.

fr fr: -p only exists for the progress vibes — everything else happens automatically the second you run it.

and that's the whole page, babe — mtbl_verify(1) from the MTBL_VERIFY(1) manual, dated 04/01/2019. go verify something and slay. 💖✨
