    • Method Detail

      • read

        public static String read​(File checksumFile)
                           throws IOException
        Extracts the checksum from the specified file.
        Parameters:
        checksumFile - The path to the checksum file, must not be null.
        Returns:
        The checksum stored in the file, never null.
        Throws:
        IOException - If the checksum does not exist or could not be read for other reasons.
      • calc

        public static Map<String,​Objectcalc​(File dataFile,
                                                    Collection<String> algos)
                                             throws IOException
        Calculates checksums for the specified file.
        Parameters:
        dataFile - The file for which to calculate checksums, must not be null.
        algos - The names of checksum algorithms (cf. MessageDigest.getInstance(String) to use, must not be null.
        Returns:
        The calculated checksums, indexed by algorithm name, or the exception that occurred while trying to calculate it, never null.
        Throws:
        IOException - If the data file could not be read.
      • toHexString

        public static String toHexString​(byte[] bytes)
        Creates a hexadecimal representation of the specified bytes. Each byte is converted into a two-digit hex number and appended to the result with no separator between consecutive bytes.
        Parameters:
        bytes - The bytes to represent in hex notation, may be be null.
        Returns:
        The hexadecimal representation of the input or null if the input was null.
