Description : Fast hashing for large files
imohash is a fast, constant-time hashing library for Go. It uses file
size and sampling to calculate hashes quickly, regardless of file size.
.
Uses
.
Because imohash only reads a small portion of a file's data, it is very
fast and well suited to file synchronization and deduplication,
especially over a fairly slow network. A need to manage media (photos
and video) over Wi-Fi between a NAS and multiple family computers is how
the library was born.
This is a dependency of croc, which I'm also working on packaging.
