NAME

checksumdiff - an utility to extract per-task data from *.chksum files

SYNOPSIS

checksumdiff [ options ] <base>.chksum <update>.chksum

DESCRIPTION

checksumdiff is a tool to extract per-task data from *.chksum files. According to the synopsis above, it compares two given *.chksum files <base>.chksum and <update>.chksum, and for every build task ID number (taken from the RPM package dist-tag) the related checksum data from the update file is written into file named <base>.NNNNNN.chksum if the base file doesn't already contain that data.

Starting from version 0.4.1 it also writes <base>.@TTTTT.chksum files for packages without dist-tags. The @TTTTT part corresponds to the first (high) 5 digits of the build-time number.

OPTIONS

-O OUTDIR, --outdir=OUTDIR
Place the resulting files in OUTDIR instead of placing them next to the <base>.chksum file.
-f, --force
Overwrite the existing per-task *.chksum files.
-r RFILE, --report-to=RFILE
Report statistics to RFILE.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose.
-V, --version
Print program version and exit.
-h, --help
Show help text and exit.
