Par2cmdline-turbo aims to keep close with its upstream and mostly differs in the following areas related to performance: * GF16, MD5 and CRC32 computation, using ParPar’s implementation; * ParPar’s internal checksumming to detect RAM errors during GF16 computation; * ParPar’s stitched hashing approach; * C++11 threads in place of par2cmdline's OpenMP dependency. . The package provides the par2 command line utility for creating andusing PAR2 files to detect and repair damage in data files. It is most commonly used as part of backup systems as well as on Usenet. In case files in a recovery set get damaged (e.g. while transmitted over a network or stored on a faulty disk) the program can read the damaged files and the (possibly damaged) PAR2 files, and regenerate the original input files.
