Sumchecker

Sumchecker is a pure Node.js solution to validating files specified in a checksum file, which are usually generated by programs such as sha256sum.

Requirements

sumchecker is tested with Node.js 14.19.0 (LTS) and above.

Usage

const sumchecker = require("sumchecker");

// NB: Top-level await is available in Node.js >= 14.8.0. Non-top-level-await syntax is left as an
// exercise to the reader.
try {
  await sumchecker(algorithm, checksumFilename, baseDir, filesToCheck);
  console.log("All files validate!");
} catch (error) {
  console.error("An error occurred", error);
}
