getverify

Returns the state of the DOS verify flag.

Syntax

#include <dos.h>
int getverify(void);

Portability

Remarks

getverify gets the current state of the verify flag.

The verify flag controls output to the disk. When verify is off, writes are not verified; when verify is on, all disk writes are verified to ensure proper writing of the data.

Return value

getverify returns the current state of the verify flag, either 0 or 1.

■ A return of 0 = verify flag off. ■ A return of 1 = verify flag on.
