filepack is a command-line file hashing and verification utility written in Rust.
It is an alternative to .sfv files and tools like shasum. Files are hashed using BLAKE3, a fast, cryptographic hash function.
Filepack supports a number of subcommands, including filepack create to create a manifest, and filepack verify to verify a manifest.
This is free software that opts out of copyright.
