cfv is a utility to both test and create .sfv, .csv, .crc, .md5(sfv-like), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and .torrent files.
These files are commonly used to ensure the correct retrieval or storage of data.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports testing and creating of .sfv, .csv(2, 3, and 4 field variants), .crc, sfvmd5(sfv file using md5 instead of crc32), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and BitTorrent file formats.
- Test-only support for PAR and PAR2 files.
- Automatic checksum file naming ability in create mode.
- Recursive operation.
- Show unverified files option.
- Ignore case and fix path separator options for cross platform use.
- Transparent gzip support for checksum files.
- Configurable renaming of bad files (with testing against previous bad files, to save only unique differing copies).
- Searching for/fixing of misnamed files.
- Raw listing of files of specified type (bad, missing, etc).
- Test suite to ensure correct operation.
