<title>Checksum Task</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2><a name="checksum">Checksum</a></h2>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>
Generates checksum for files. This task can also be used to
perform checksum verifications.
</p>
<p>Note that many popular message digest functions - including MD5 and
SHA-1 - have been broken recently. If you are going to use the task
to create checksums used in an environment where security is
important, please take some time to investigate the algorithms offered
by your JCE provider. Note also that some JCE providers like the one
by <a href="http://www.bouncycastle.org/">The Legion of the Bouncy
Castle</a>, the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-crypto/">GNU
project</a> or <a
href="http://jce.iaik.tugraz.at/products/01_jce/index.php">the
Technical University Graz</a> offer more digest algorithms than those
built-in into your JDK.</p>
<p>
Warning: the case of the extension is that of the algorithm used.
If you ask for "SHA1", you get a .SHA1 extension; if you ask for "sha1", you
get a file ending in .sha1. The Java Crypto Engines are case-insensitive
in matching algorithms, so choose a name to match your desired output extension,
or set the <tt>fileext</tt> attribute.
</p>
<h3>Parameters</h3>

at least one nested (filesystem-only) resource collection.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">todir</td>
<td valign="top">The root directory where checksums should be written.</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No. If not specified, checksum files
will be written to the same directory as the files themselves.

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">algorithm</td>
<td valign="top">Specifies the algorithm to be used to
compute the checksum. Defaults to "MD5".
Other popular algorithms like "SHA" or "SHA-512" may be used
as well.

</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">provider</td>
<td valign="top">Specifies the provider of the algorithm.</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No</td>
</tr>

</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">property</td>
<td valign="top">This attribute can mean two different things, it
depends on the presence of the verifyproperty attribute.<br>
<b>If you don't set the verifyproperty attribute</b>, property
specifies the name of the property to be set with the generated
checksum value.<br>
<b>If you set the verifyproperty attribute</b>, property specifies
the checksum you expect to be generated (the checksum itself, not
a name of a property containing the checksum).<br>
This cannot be specified when fileext is being used or when the
number of files for which checksums is to be generated is greater
than 1.
</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">pattern</td>
<td valign="top">Specifies the pattern to use as a pattern
suitable
for <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/MessageFormat.html">MessageFormat</a>
where <code>{0}</code> is replaced with the checksum and
<code>{1}</code> with the file name. <em>Since Ant
1.7.0</em><br/>
<em>starting with Ant 1.8.2</em> <code>{2}</code> is replaced by
the path of the file relative to the checksum file being
written, <code>{3}</code> with tha path of the file relative to
the project's basedir and <code>{4}</code> with the absolute
path of the file.</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No - default is "{0}".</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">format</td>
<td valign="top">Specifies the pattern to use as one of a
well-known format. Supported values are
<table border="1">
<tr>

<th>pattern</th>
<th>description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>CHECKSUM </td>
<td><tt>{0}</tt></td>
<td>only the checksum itself </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>MD5SUM </td>
<td><tt>{0} *{1}</tt></td>
<td>the format of GNU textutils md5sum</td>

<td><tt>MD5 ({1}) = {0}</tt></td>
<td>the format of BSDs md5 command </td>
</tr>
</table>
<em>Since Ant 1.7.0</em>
</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No - default is "CHECKSUM".</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">totalproperty</td>
<td valign="top">If specified, this attribute specifies the name of
the property that will hold a checksum of all the checksums and
file paths. The individual checksums and the relative paths to the files
within the resource collections in which they are defined will be used to
compute this checksum. (The file separators in the paths will be
converted to '/' before computation to ensure platform portability).
<em>since Ant 1.6</em>
</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">forceoverwrite</td>
<td valign="top">Overwrite existing files even if the destination
files are newer. Defaults to "no".</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">verifyproperty</td>
<td valign="top">Specifies the name of the property to be set
with "true" or "false" depending upon whether
the generated checksum matches the existing checksum. When
this is set, the generated checksum is not written to a file or
property, but rather, the content of the file or property is used to
check against the generated checksum.
<td valign="top" align="center">No</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">readbuffersize</td>
<td valign="top">The size of the buffer (in bytes) to use when
reading a file. Defaults to "8192" - you may get a
better performance on big files if you increase this value.</td>
<td valign="top" align="center">No</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
<h4>resource collection</h4>
<p>
<a href="../Types/resources.html#collection">Resource collections</a> are
used to select files for which checksums should be generated.
</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<p><b>Example 1</b></p>
<blockquote><pre><checksum file="foo.bar"/></pre></blockquote>
Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar and stores the checksum in the destination file
foo.bar.MD5. foo.bar.MD5 is overwritten only if foo.bar is newer than itself.
<p><b>Example 2</b></p>
<blockquote><pre><checksum file="foo.bar" forceOverwrite="yes"/></pre></blockquote>
Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar and stores the checksum in foo.bar.MD5.
If foo.bar.MD5 already exists, it is overwritten.
<p><b>Example 3</b></p>
<blockquote><pre><checksum file="foo.bar" property="foobarMD5"/></pre></blockquote>
Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar and stores it in the Project Property foobarMD5.
<p><b>Example 4</b></p>
<blockquote><pre><checksum file="foo.bar" verifyProperty="isMD5ok"/></pre></blockquote>
Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar, compares it against foo.bar.MD5 and sets
isMD5ok to either true or false, depending upon the result.
<p><b>Example 5</b></p>
<blockquote><pre><checksum file="foo.bar" algorithm="SHA-512" fileext="asc"/></pre></blockquote>
Generates a SHA-512 checksum for foo.bar and stores the checksum in the destination file
foo.bar.asc. foo.bar.asc is overwritten only if foo.bar is newer than itself.
<p><b>Example 6</b></p>
<blockquote><pre>
<checksum file="foo.bar" property="${md5}" verifyProperty="isEqual"/>
</pre></blockquote>
Generates a MD5 checksum for foo.bar, compares it against the value of the property
md5, and sets isEqual to either true or false, depending upon the result.
<p><b>Example 7</b></p>
<blockquote><pre>
<checksum>
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="foo*"/>
</fileset>
</checksum>
</pre></blockquote>
Works just like Example 1, but generates a .MD5 file for every file that begins with the name foo.
<p><b>Example 8</b></p>
<blockquote><pre>
<condition property="isChecksumEqual">
<checksum>
<fileset dir=".">
<include name="foo.bar"/>
</fileset>
</checksum>
</condition>
</pre></blockquote>
Works like Example 4, but only sets isChecksumEqual to true, if the
checksum matches - it will never be set to false. This example
demonstrates use with the Condition task.
<h3>Note:</h3>
When working with more than one file, if condition and/or verifyproperty is used,
the result will be true only if the checksums matched correctly for all files being
considered.
