Verify

verify

Check that downloaded files still exist on disk and optionally verify their content.

Usage

# Check that files exist at their recorded paths
kei verify -u my@email.address

# Also verify SHA256 checksums (slower)
kei verify -u my@email.address --checksums

Flags

Global flags (--username, --config, --data-dir, --domain, --log-level) apply to this command.

Flag	Description
--checksums	Compute and compare SHA256 hashes for each file. Catches silent corruption but takes longer on large libraries.

How It Works

Without --checksums, verify reads the state database and checks that each file marked as downloaded exists at its local_path. Missing files are reported.

With --checksums, it also computes the SHA256 of each file and compares it against the hash stored at download time. This catches files that exist but have been modified or corrupted since download.
