meta4-create utility is used to create Metalink4
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5854)
.meta4-file for single specified file.
+Look for its -help for invocation information.
--fn NAME -- the only required option specifying file's name.
--desc "..." -- set file's description.
--mtime FILE -- let published date be equal to FILE's mtime.
--sig FILE -- path to armored OpenPGP's signature file.
--torrent URL -- set BitTorrent's URL.
--hashes -- comma-separated list of colon-separated pairs of hash'es
- name and the external command used to compute it. Command
- shall take the data from stdin and print the digest in
- hexadecimal form with the following newline to stdout.
+-hashes are comma-separated list of colon-separated pairs of hash'es
+name and the external command used to compute it. Command shall take

+following newline to stdout.
Following hashes are predefined by default:
reduced round Merklee-tree-based BLAKE2 descendant. BLAKE2 is reduced
round BLAKE, that also was one of SHA3-finalists.
-meta4-check utility is used to check files against provided Metalink4.
-
--extract-sig -- store the OpenPGP signature (if exists) in .asc file nearby.
--hashes -- same as in meta4-create. Hashes are sorted by preferences
- priority. First matching one will be used to check integrity.
+meta4ra is copylefted free software: see the file COPYING for copying
+conditions. It should work on all POSIX-compatible systems.
