Table A-8	-CRC32 usage examples
Switch		Function
ghost.exe -crc32,action=create		Creates an ASCII CRC32 file from the
		primary hard drive. Note that the
		default disk is the primary drive. The
		default ASCII CRC32 file is Ghost.crc.
ghost.exe -crc32,action=create,src=		Creates an ASCII CRC32 file,

		the source drive and the output file.
ghost.exe -crc32,action=verify		Verifies the contents of the primary
		disk against a default ASCII CRC32
		file, Ghost.crc (in the current
		directory). The default disk is the
		primary drive. The default
		verification list file is Ghost.ls.
ghost.exe -crc32,action=verify,src=		Verifies the contents of the primary
1,crcfile=myfile.txt,vlist=myfile.out		disk, 1, against the CRC32 file,
		Myfile.txt. This example Myfile.out as
		the verification list file.
ghost.exe -crc32,action=verify,src=		Verifies the contents of the primary
1,crcfile=myfile.txt,vlist=myfile.out,vexcept=my		disk against a CRC32 file. Same as
file.exc		above with the inclusion of the
		EXCEPTION argument that excludes

Files not checked with CRC

The switch vexcept=filename specifies files that are not checked with CRC. This is normally used to exclude files that are always changed on start up. A sample exception file follows:
