Compute a checksum of a directory tree, for example to validate that a directory was copied successfully to a different machine.
console
$ RUSTFLAGS='-C target-cpu=native' cargo install sha1dir
Run sha1dir to checksum the current directory, or run sha1dir path/to/dir1
path/to/dir2 ... to checksum one or more other directories.
The checksum is computed as the bitwise XOR of SHA-1 hashes one per directory entry. The hash for each directory entry is the hash of the following body:
For regular files — the one byte 'f', 4 little endian bytes for the path
length, the bytes of the path, 4 little endian bytes for the Unix file mode
as given by st_mode, and finally the file contents.
For symbolic links — the one byte 'l', the path length / path / mode as for
regular files, and then the path of the link target.
For directories — the one byte 'd', and the path length / path / mode.
The resulting checksum is 160 bits wide like SHA-1.
