Work in progress
A quick alternative to cksfv for generating and verifying CRC32C checksum files(.sfv).
qCheck accelerates the checksum and checksum-verification process by interfacing
with the .sfv file format and using a more modern approach by utilizing both
multi-threaded parallelism and memory-mapped IO to reduce syscall overhead.
qCheck has proven itself to be about x4 to x15 times faster than
alternatives such as rhash and cksfv and reduces CRC32's algorithmic
overhead to the point of being almost entirely bounded by device IO speeds.
It is recommended to run this program on a fast NVME Solid State Drive to fully
saturate read speed.
