Sfc /offlogfile

If I execute the command: sfc
... then I get the help, including the parameter /OFFLOGFILE

If I execute the command: sfc /scannow /offlogfile=E:\temp\scannnow.txt
... then the help is displayed, but no error message. What's going on?

I'm trying to run sfc /verifyonly and to direct the output to a file.
So I tried: sfc /verifyonly > E:\temp\verifyonly.txt
... and of course that worked.
But the text in the file is curious. Every character is taking 2 bytes, the first being x'00'

It's simple enough to write a script to get around these minor issues; I'm just curious why I should have to!

You should wonder why you don't have it instead (no rudeness indended, re reading it sounded rude )

I dont think the /scannow flag is compatible with the /offlogfile one...

Well i'm not in recovery mode, the version is 6.0 for both, this is either strange or sloppy.

I have 18.03 win 10 pro, so it seem it has been added in 18.03
