DIVerify

Verify readability of a disk

#include <DiskInit.h> Disk Initialization Package

short drvNum ; drive to verify (1=internal floppy)

returns Error Code; 0=no error

DIVerify attempts to read all of a diskette and returns an Error Code if any

problems are found. This low-level read does not verify the integrity of the

file information on the disk. It is meant to be used directly after a low-level

format (see DIFormat).

drvNum identifies which drive contains the disk to verify. Historically,

1=internal, 2=external, and number higher than 3 are hard disks.

See GetDrvQHdr for a way to get a list of "hard" drive numbers.

Returns: an operating system Error Code. It will be one of:

noErr (0) No error

firstDskErr (-84) ... through ...

lastDskErr (-64) (low-level disk errors)

Notes: This function is performed automatically by DIBadMount (which itself is

performed automatically most of the time).

DIVerify does not affect the contents of the disk.
