NAME

       integrit - file integrity verification system

       This  manpage  is  a  brief  reference  and  may  be  out of date.  The
       definitive texinfo documentation should be viewable  by  running  "info
       integrit".

SYNOPSIS

       integrit -C conffile OPTIONS

       integrit -V

       integrit -h

OPTIONS

       -C      Specify conffile as the configuration file for integrit.

       -V      Show integrit version information and exit.

       -h      Show brief help.

       -x      Produce XML output.

       -u       Do  update  -  create a new database that reflects the current
              state of the system.

       -c      Do check - compare  the  current  state  of  the  system  to  a
              database  containing  a  snapshot of the system when it was in a
              known state.

       -N       Manually  override  specification  of  the   current   ("New")
              database.  Normally it is set in the configuration file.

       -O       Manually override specification of the known ("Old") database.
              Normally it is set in the configuration file.

       -q      Lower integrit’s level of verbosity.

       -v      Increase integrit’s level of verbosity.

DESCRIPTION

       The integrit system detects intrusion by detecting when  trusted  files
       have been altered.

       By  creating an integrit database (update mode) that is a snapshot of a
       host system in a known state, the host’s files can later be verified as
       unaltered by running integrit in check mode to compare current state to
       the recorded known state.  integrit  can  do  a  check  and  an  update
       simultaneously.
