| 5 | 3 | George Notaras | VeriTAR [Veri(fy)TAR] is a command-line utility that verifies the md5 sums of |
| 6 | 3 | George Notaras | files within a TAR archive. Due to the tar (ustar) format limitations the md5 |
| 7 | 1 | George Notaras | sums are retrieved from a separate file and are checked against the md5 sums of |
| 8 | 1 | George Notaras | the files within the tar archive. The process takes place without actually |
| 9 | 1 | George Notaras | exctracting the files. |
| 10 | 1 | George Notaras | |
| 11 | 1 | George Notaras | It works with corrupted tar archives. The program carries on to the next |
| 12 | 1 | George Notaras | file within the archive skipping the damaged parts. At the moment, this relies |
| 13 | 1 | George Notaras | on Python's tarfile module internal functions. |

| 15 | 1 | George Notaras | Compressed TAR archives (Gzip or BZ2) are supported. |
