PLAKAR-CHECK(1)

💖 PLAKAR-CHECK(1) — the integrity-check era 💖

okay so this is the manual page for plakar-check, straight out of the General Commands Manual bestie, and honestly? she's giving "trust but verify" energy and we're obsessed 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

plakar-check — check data integrity in a Plakar repository 🔍💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plakar check [-fast] [-no-verify] [snapshotID:path ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The plakar check command verifies the integrity of data in a Plakar repository, no cap. It goes through the given paths inside the snapshots and checks them for consistency, and it validates file macs to make sure nothing got corrupted 😭 — or, if you don't give it any snapshotID or location flags at all, it just checks all the data in the repository, main character behavior fr fr 👑

on top of the flags listed down below, plakar check also supports the location flags documented in plakar-query(7), so you can precisely select which snapshots you want. iykyk ✨

the options are as follows:

• -fast — turns on a faster check that skips mac verification 💨 it only does structural validation, without actually confirming data integrity. so like, fast but shallow, we love a speedrun 🙈
• -no-verify — disables signature verification. this one lets you go ahead and check snapshot integrity regardless of an invalid snapshot signature 🤫

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

The plakar-check utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. so like, zero means slay, anything above zero means something's up 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

do a full integrity check on all snapshots:

$ plakar check

do a fast check on specific paths of two snapshot:

$ plakar check -fast abc123:/etc/passwd def456:/var/www
