=== RHash program ===



RHash is a console utility for calculation  and verification of magnet links

and a wide range of hash sums like  CRC32,  MD4, MD5,  SHA1, SHA256, SHA512,

SHA3,   AICH,  ED2K,  Tiger,  DC++ TTH,  BitTorrent BTIH,   GOST R 34.11-94,

RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, EDON-R, Whirlpool and Snefru.



Hash sums are used to  ensure and verify integrity  of large volumes of data

for a long-term storing or transferring.



Features:

 * Output in a predefined (SFV, BSD-like) or a user-defined format.

 * Can calculate Magnet links.

 * Updating hash files (adding hash sums of files missing in the hash file).

 * Calculates several hash sums in one pass

 * Ability to process directories recursively.

 * Portability: the program works the same on Linux, *BSD or Windows.





                        === The LibRHash library ===



LibRHash is a professional,  portable,  thread-safe  C library for computing

a wide variety of hash sums, such as  CRC32, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512,

SHA3,   AICH,  ED2K,  Tiger,  DC++ TTH,  BitTorrent BTIH,   GOST R 34.11-94,

RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, EDON-R, Whirlpool and Snefru.

Hash sums are used  to ensure and verify integrity of  large volumes of data

for a long-term storing or transferring.



Features:

 * Small and easy to learn interface.

 * Hi-level and Low-level API.

 * Allows calculating of several hash functions simultaneously.

 * Portability: the library works on Linux, *BSD and Windows.
