# evidence verify-audit command reference

> Generated syntax and options for evidence verify-audit.

{/* Generated from Clap command definitions by scripts/generate-cli-reference.mjs. Run npm run generate. */}

Run a full out-of-band verification pass over the audit chain.

## Contract status

This page is generated from the public Clap command tree. Hidden implementation commands are omitted.

## Description

Run a full out-of-band verification pass over the audit chain. Startup verification is deliberately bounded to the active segment, so restart time does not grow with retained history; tampering inside an already sealed segment is not caught there. This is the counterpart check that catches it, meant to run out of band.

## Usage

```text
evidence verify-audit [OPTIONS]
```

## Options

| Option | Always required | Default | Values | Environment | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

| `-h, --help` | No | n/a | n/a | n/a | Print help (see a summary with '-h') |
