NAME

qtegrity - verify files with IMA  

SYNOPSIS

qtegrity [opts] <misc args>  

DESCRIPTION

The default behavior of qtegrity is to verify digests of performed executables to a list of known good digests. This requires an IM-enabled linux kernel, which records digests of performed executables and exports them through securityfs. Using --ignor-no-existent suppresses messages about recorded files that can't be accessed (assuming they got removed). By using --add, the program behaves differently. No verification is performed, instead a digest is made of the provided file and appended to the list of known good digests.  

OPTIONS

-a <arg>, --add <arg>

Add file to store of know-good digests.

-i, --ignore-non-existent

Be silent if recorded file no longer exists.

-s, --show-matches

Show recorded digests that match with know-good digests.

--root <arg>

Set the ROOT env var.

-v, --verbose

Report full package versions, emit more elaborate output.

-q, --quiet

Tighter output; suppress warnings.

-C, --nocolor

Don't output color.

--color

Force color in output.

-h, --help

Print this help and exit.

-V, --version

Print version and exit.
