file_intergity

The File Integrity Library is a Rust crate designed to help you calculate MD5 hashes for files and generate JSON reports of the file integrity status. This can be useful for verifying the integrity of files in a list, such as during software distribution or system monitoring.

Features

• Calculate hashes for a list of files.
• Calculate hashes for file contents.
• Generate JSON reports of file integrity status.

Installation

Add this crate to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
file_integrity = "0.1.2"

Usage

Hashing a Single File

use file_integrity::hash_file;

fn main() {
    let filename = "path/to/your/file.txt".to_string();
    let result = hash_file(filename.clone());
    println!("Filename: {}", result.filename);
    println!("MD5 Hash: {}", result.md5_hash);
}

Hashing Files from a List

use file_integrity::hash_file_list;

fn main() {
    let filename = "path/to/your/file_list.txt";
    let file_list = hash_file_list(filename);
    println!("Date: {}", file_list.date);
    println!("Number of Files: {}", file_list.files.len());
}

Writing JSON Reports

use file_integrity::{hash_file_list, write_json_file};

fn main() {
    let filename = "path/to/your/file_list.txt";
    let file_list = hash_file_list(filename);
    write_json_file(&file_list);
}
