print_wire_header
 
 
 

Purpose

print_wire_header prints the header and can be used to verify the named wire files.

Description

print_wire_header [-v] file [file...]  
-v sets the verify mode. If -v is included, the entire wire file is read and if the trailer record is not found, the file is reported as invalid. This option indicates that a wire file is not truncated. It is useful for verifying the success of a file transfer operation, such as a copy to or from tape or across NFS.
file [file...] is a list of files to be processed. There must be at least one file listed. Wildcard listing of files is supported.

Example

The following is an example of output produced using the command print_wire_header -v * in a directory.
