        # 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 Lisa Gnedt.

## Requirements

Python ≥ 3.6 – older versions might work, but are unsupported.

For Python 2 support, see the [python2 branch](https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv/tree/python2).

### 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).

### From PyPI

If you have a working Python installation with pip, you can install via PyPI:

```sh

pip install cfv

```

### From Source

Download a snapshot from the [Github releases page](https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv/releases)

or checkout the development version via Git.

```sh

python setup.py install

# optional: run tests to verify correct operation

cd test; ./test.py

```

### From OS-specific Repositories

#### Arch Linux

To install the development version from [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cfv-git) (maintained by @vestingz):

```sh

yay -S cfv-git

```

#### FreeBSD

A FreeBSD port is available (maintained by @Terry-Kennedy).

To install the pre-built package (updated quarterly, so may be out-of-date):

```sh

pkg install cfv

```

To build from source (make sure your source tree is up-to-date via any of the usual methods):

```sh

cd /usr/ports/security/cfv

make; make install; make clean

```

To update the pre-built package:

```sh

pkg upgrade cfv

```

To update from source (again, make sure your source tree is up-to-date):

```sh

portupgrade cfv

```

## Usage

Please read the man page `man cfv` or the usage `cfv -h` and have fun ☺️

## Contributions

Contributions are welcome, just open a pull request ☺️

## Alternative Tools

Here is a community-compiled list of alternative tools that cover some of cfv's functionality (without warranty):

* GNU coreutils \*sum: md5sum, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum, ...

* cksfv

* [rhash](https://github.com/rhash/RHash) (with `-rc` does more or less the same thing as cfv, performance is good and it supports most hash formats including bittorrent. It lacks cfv's `-m` though.)

* aria2c (to verify torrent checksums)

* bsdsfv (limited to 1024 files for some reason)

* pure-sfv (doesn't seem to display progress information, even with `-v`)

* [bcfv](https://github.com/jarppiko/bcfv) (a Bash frontend to checksum programs (SHA, Blake3, MD5))
