crc32

A simple CRC check of the whole file

Usage

crc32=<hash(text[8])>

Examples

crc32=1234ABCD

Description

Compares the CRC32 hash of the file contents. While md5 is much safer regarding collisions, this one may speed up archive scans, since archive directories often contain CRC32 hashes which make it possible to test archive contents without completely extracting it.
