NAME
       p2pd-mdgen - block digest generation program

SYNOPSIS
       p2pd-mdgen [-d] [-b blocksize] [-m digestname]

DESCRIPTION
       The  p2pd-mdgen	tool  generates block message digests for
       the specified files.  These files can be generated on-the-
       fly as they are needed by the p2pd(8) server, but by using
       p2pd-mdgen it will not be  necessary  for  the  server  to
       spend CPU resources on this task. Generated message digest
       files with different block sizes and message digests  will
       have  different names, making it possible to have multiple
       block digest files for a single file.

EXAMPLES
       $ p2pd-mdgen movie.mpg

       Generate	 block	digest	file  for  movie.mpg,  using  the
       default message digest and block size values.

       $ p2pd-mdgen -m rmd160 -b 1048576 movie.mpg

       Generate	 block	digest	file, with rmd160 message digests
       and a block size of 1MB.

AUTHORS
       Design and implementation by Karl-Andre' Skevik.
