NAME
rdd-verify - verifies checksums and hash values generated by rdd-copy(1)
SYNOPSIS
rdd-verify [OPTION] file1 ...
DESCRIPTION
Rdd-verify verifies checksums and hash values generated by rdd-copy(1). Rdd stores checksums (Adler32 or CRC32) in files. These files must be passed to rdd-verify for verification. Hash values (MD5 or SHA1) computed by rdd-copy(1) must be passed to rdd-verify on the command line as hexadecimal strings. Rdd-verify reads all input files (file1, ...) and recomputes the checksums and hash values that the user wishes to verify. The verifica- tion will very likely fail if the concatenation of the input files is different from the source that was copied by rdd-copy(1).
OUTPUT
All verification errors are reported on stderr.
OPTIONS
-?, --help Print a usage message. -V, --version Report version number and exit. -v, --verbose Be verbose (more messages). -v, --verbose Be verbose (more messages). --checksum, --adler32 file Verify the Adler32 checksums stored in file. --crc, --crc32 file Verify the CRC32 checksums stored in file. --md5, --md5 digest Recompute the MD5 hash value. It should be equal to digest. --sha, --sha1 digest Recompute the SHA1 hash value. It should be equal to digest. A digest argument is a hexadecimal string. Leading zeroes may not be omitted.
EXAMPLES
rdd-verify --md5 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef disk.img Compute the MD5 hash value over disk.img and verify whether it equals 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef. rdd-verify --adler32 checksums.a32 disk.img Compute the adler32 checksums over disk.img and compare each checksum to the corresponding checksum in checksums.a32.
