Dirhash_fast

Dirhash_fast is a high-performance Rust tool designed to quickly compute cryptographic hashes (Blake3) of entire directory trees. It supports parallel processing to scale effectively to large datasets, and works cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows). It is much faster than the crate dirhash, and meant to be used more easily than merkle_hash. Dirhash_fast can be used both as a standalone command-line application and as a library in Rust projects. Usage (binary): Run dirhash_fast /path/to/directory to print the hash of the specified directory. Usage (library):Include dirhash_fast = "0" in your project's Cargo.toml under [dependencies]. Example usage in Rust: use dirhash_fast::hash_directory; fn main() { let hash = hash_directory("/path/to/directory".as_ref()); println!("Directory hash: {}", hash); }. Installation: From source: cargo install --path ., or from crates.io: cargo install dirhash_fast.
