par2cmdline (Commandline implementation of PARv2.0 specification)
|
|
|
|
par2cmdline is a GPL-licensed commandline tool for creating and using PAR2
|
|
parity sets to detect damage in files and repair them if necessary. The
|
|
program uses Reed Solomon Coding to perform its error correction. A useful
|
|
program for checking and ensuring the integrity of binaries retrieved from
|
|
usenet for instance.
|
|
|
|
This program, or it's argued gcc, has compile issues which result in a
|
|
"Warning: ignoring..." messages during the build process. This problem is
|
|
known and was made a gcc bug, which was shortly fixed. From what I know,
|
|
this issue does not affect the actual compilation of the program.
|
|
|
|

There is also current work being done on a par2 library extracted from
|
|
par2cmdline called libpar2 and is available at pararchive.sourceforge.net.
|
|
However, since it still contains the original par2cmdline, it has the same
|
|
compilation issue.
|
|
|
|
On a side note, par2cmdline in combination with unrar (available here on
|
|
SlackBuilds.org) can be used by the python program hellanzb to make getting,
|
|
verifying and unraring files with a nzb file almost totally hands-free.
