Command-line File Verify - versatile file checksum creator and verifier

cfv - Command-line File Verify

cfv is a utility to test and create a wide range of checksum verification files. It currently supports testing and creating sfv, sfvmd5, csv, csv2, csv4, md5, bsdmd5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, torrent and crc files. Test-only support is available for par, par2.

cfv was originally written by Matthew Mueller (original project home). This is a friendly fork of cfv maintained by David Gnedt.

Requirements

Python ≥ 2.4 https://www.python.org/

Optional

• Python Imaging Library (PIL) https://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ or Pillow https://python-pillow.org/ (only needed if you want to create the dimensions column of .crc files)
• python-fchksum http://code.fluffytapeworm.com/projects (may speed up checksumming speed a bit, especially if your python was not built with the mmap module.)

Install

You can get the latest release from the Github releases page.

Unix

1. make install (which just runs python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local)
2. read man page, cfv -h, etc. have fun
3. optional: run tests to verify correct operation: cd test; ./test.py

Windows

1. maybe python setup.py install will do something useful? At least it should stick the libraries in the right place
2. move cfv.bat to somewhere in the path
3. edit the cfv.bat file if your Python is installed somewhere other than C:\python24
