Method Detail

### check

    public static void check(java.io.File dest,
                             java.io.File checksumFile,
                             java.lang.String algorithm)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Checks the checksum of the given file against the given checksumFile, and throws an IOException if the checksum is not compliant

  Parameters:
    `dest` - the file to test
    `checksumFile` - the file containing the expected checksum
    `algorithm` - the checksum algorithm to use
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an IO problem occur whle reading files or if the checksum is not compliant

### computeAsString

    public static java.lang.String computeAsString(java.io.File f,
                                                   java.lang.String algorithm)
                                            throws java.io.IOException

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### isKnownAlgorithm

    public static boolean isKnownAlgorithm(java.lang.String algorithm)

### byteArrayToHexString

    public static java.lang.String byteArrayToHexString(byte[] in)

  Convert a byte[] array to readable string format. This makes the "hex" readable!

  Parameters:
    `in` - byte[] buffer to convert to string format
  Returns:
    result String buffer in String format
