cfv is a utility to both test and create .sfv, .csv, .crc, .md5(sfv-like), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and .torrent files. These files are commonly used to ensure the correct retrieval or storage of data.

cfv is written in python, and as such should run on all platforms python supports. Currently, it has been verified to work on linux, freebsd, openbsd, netbsd, solaris, macosx, and windows.

Here are some key features of "cfv":
supports testing and creating of .sfv, .csv(2, 3, and 4 field variants), .crc, sfvmd5(sfv file using md5 instead of crc32), md5sum, bsd md5, sha1sum, and BitTorrent file formats
test-only support for PAR and PAR2 files
automatic checksum file naming ability in create mode
recursive operation
show unverified files option
ignore case and fix path seperator options for cross platform use
transparent gzip support for checksum files
configurable renaming of bad files (with testing against previous bad files, to save only unique differing copies)
searching for/fixing of misnamed files
raw listing of files of specified type (bad, missing, etc)
test suite to ensure correct operation


Requirements:
python 1.6 or greater
optional: fchksum extension, increases crc and md5sum speed if python mmap module is not available


What's New in This Release:
Fix TypeError when using progress meter and checksumming stdin.
Fix progress meter spew when checksumming special files(devices, named pipes, etc.)
Sort list of checksum types in --help output.
Make -t help (or -t with unknown type) print list of types, with descriptions.
