A Utility that creates .SFV (Simple File Verify)

neville310 · 04-25-2007, 11:23 PM

I would like to develop a script that verifies check sums/crc found in sfv files.

Sfv are used to verify whether downloads contain the same fingerprint as the files on the server.

Please let me know any Unix command line tools that may aid in verifying sfv. Examples or links to similar scripts would be appreciated as well. My Google search only returned cksfv and puresfv, yet I wanted to get additional suggestions before developing the script.

Did you use google?
Or searched in your description of the packages with your package manager?

These I have found:
cfv: http://www.fodder.org/blog/cksfv.php
pure-sfv: http://www.fodder.org/blog/cksfv.php
chksfv: http://www.fodder.org/blog/cksfv.php
bsdsfv: http://bsdsfv.sourceforge.net/

These are probably already in your repo.
