Currently it +supports crc32 and md5 checksums. + +The advantage of using fchksum over the python md5 and zlib(.crc32) modules +is both ease of use and speed. You only need to tell it the filename and the +actual work is done by C code. Compared to the implementing a read loop in +python with the standard python modules, fchksum is approximatly 2.0x faster +in md5 and 1.1x faster in crc32. + +WWW: http://www.azstarnet.com/~donut/programs/fchksum.html |
