About:
cfv is a command-line utility designed to verify the integrity of files using checksum lists like SFV, CSV, and CRC. It can also create these verification files from a set of input files, ensuring data consistency during transfers or backups. The tool supports multiple hashing algorithms and formats, making it a versatile solution for file validation tasks.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple checksum formats including SFV, CSV, and CRC
  • Can create verification files for future integrity checks
  • Handles large batches of files efficiently
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Verifying downloaded files against provided checksums
  • Creating checksum lists for data backups before archival
  • Ensuring file integrity after network transfers
Alternatives:
  • md5sum – Standard GNU tool for MD5 checksums, but cfv supports more formats like SFV.
  • rhash – More comprehensive hashing tool, but cfv is simpler and focused on verification lists.
