The help files says the /v switch on Xcopy will "verify each new file"

What does this mean? Does it mean that it will let you know if the copy fails for some reason?

/V just verifies that the copied files are identical to the source. You will never see anything different on the screen when you use this switch.

"You will never see anything different on the screen when you use this switch." Except maybe the message "Copy failed."
