cksfv.rs – reimplements the classic cksfv tool

cksfv.rs is a command-line utility written in Rust that reimplements the classic cksfv tool for working with SFV checksum files.

It uses CRC32 checksums to verify file integrity and can also generate new SFV listings, while aiming to preserve the original program’s command-line interface and behavior so it can serve as a faster drop-in replacement in existing workflows.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

  • Provides a drop-in reimplementation of cksfv with scripting-friendly command-line compatibility.
  • Generates SFV listings that are compatible with the original cksfv utility.
  • Validates existing SFV files and supports checking selected files during validation.
  • Can use memory-mapped file access to reduce direct file reading overhead.
  • Supports multithreaded processing when working with several files.
