# 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](http://cfv.sourceforge.net/)). This is a [friendly fork of cfv](https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv) maintained by David Gnedt.

Python ≥ 3.5 – older versions might work, but are unsupported. For Python 2 support, see the [master branch](https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv/tree/master).

### 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.

## Install

You can get the latest releases via the [Python Package Index (PyPI)](https://pypi.org/project/cfv/) or from the [Github releases page](https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv/releases). Other distribution ways are work-in-progress, see [issue #4](https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv/issues/4).
