Command line usage

Generally speaking, there is little reason to specify other than the default values. The command line is mainly useful for specifying more than one verify folder or volume in a single command. 

verify
     [--iterations|-i <count>]           "1"
     [--progress-interval|-p <seconds>]  "1"
     [--buffer-size|-b <kilobytes>]      "2048K"
     [--buffers|-n <count>]              "4"
     [--threads|-t <count>]              "4"
     <path>[ <path>]*
