bit-inspector

Detects bit rotten files in the given directory to keep your files forever.

It is inspired by:

• https://github.com/ambv/bitrot
• https://github.com/laktak/chkbit-py

How it works

You go to a directory. You run the command bin:

• All files in this directory are inspected, new files are added to the database.
• If the file last modification date in database and on the disk is the same, but the content checksum is different, then a bit rot is detected.

How to setup your environment on Linux

Example:

alias bir='java -jar /rv/data/desktop/code/code.nanoboot.org/nanoboot/bit-inspector/target/bir-inspector-0.0.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar'
