Sfv is an acronym for simple file verification, a checksum format using the CRC32 algorithm to check and verify the integrity files.
One of the first programs to use the SFV format was WinSFV. Other SFV programs include {list}.
SFV uses a plain-text file containing one line for each file and its checksum in the format FILENAME CHECKSUM. Any line containing a semicolon ';' is considered to be a comment line and is ignored for the purposes of file verification. A sample SFV file appears as follows:
- file1.zip c45ad668
- file2.zip 7903b8e6
