The format of this file is a de facto standard ; a line is created for each file and goes like this:
e7e9576b9e55940b4b8522a65902d4cd readme.txt 119abda7c941135d5bf382c386bca2ca i386/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.iso 3c0d332902b9b8dfec43ba02d1618c6e ppc/debian-40r1-ppc-DVD-1.iso ...The path of each file is relative to the checksum file's path. In the above example,
readme.txt
and the checksum file are located in the same folder. Note that 2 space characters (and not just one as anyone in his right mind would think) separate the hexadecimal checksum from the file path. The above file format is used for all checksum algorithms but one: CRC32, which uses the special SFV format where the checksum for each file is written as follow:
wne-ebai.r00 697115b2 wne-ebai.r01 f80a8443 ...@author Maxence Bernard
