<checksum>

A task that calculates checksums for a set of files. Loosely based on Ant's Checksum task.

This task takes a set of input files in a fileset and calculates a checksum for each one of them. You can specify the algorithm to use when calculating the checksum value (MD5 or SHA1, for example). The calculated value is saved to a file with the same name as the input file and an added extension either based on the algorithm name (e.g. .MD5), or whatever is specified through the fileext attribute.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
algorithm	string	Name of Algorithm to use when calculating the checksum. Can be MD5 or SHA1.	True
fileext	string	The generated checksum file's name will be the original filename with "." and fileext added to it. Defaults to the algorithm name being used	False
failonerror	bool		False
if	bool		False
unless	bool		False
verbose	bool		False

Nested Elements:

<fileset>

Set of files to use as input

</fileset>

Examples

                 <checksum algorithm="MD5" fileext="MD5">
                    <fileset>
                       <includes name="${outputdir}\*.dll"/>
                    </fileset>
                 </checksum>
