Verifying Patches
The swverify operation on a normal fileset checks that the latest files are
properly installed. When installing a patch, the ancestor fileset is
updated to have the correct attributes of the patched files.
SD verifies patch filesets by checking that files in a patch are still
properly installed (or in the depot correctly).
