1 It creates a database from the regular expression rules that it finds
2 from the config file. Once this database is initialized it can be
3 used to verify the integrity of the files. It has several message
4 digest algorithms (md5,sha1,rmd160,tiger,haval,etc.) that are used to
5 check the integrity of the file. More algorithms can be added with
6 relative ease. All of the usual file attributes can also be checked
7 for inconsistencies. It can read databases from older or newer
8 versions. See the manual pages within the distribution for further
9 info. There is also a beginning of a manual at
