Python - hashdeep.py - recursive hash of directory tree files in hashdeep format

hashdeep.py

"""
Build recursive hash of files in directory tree in hashdeep format.


Hashdeep format description:
http://md5deep.sourceforge.net/start-hashdeep.html

hashdeep.py differences from original hashdeep:

 - if called without arguments, automatically starts to build
   recursive hash starting from the current directory
   (original hashdeep waits for the output from stdin)
 - uses only sha256 (original uses md5 and sha256)
 - uses relative paths only (original works with absolute)


hashdeep.py output example:

$ hashdeep.py
%%%% HASHDEEP-1.0
%%%% size,sha256,filename
##
## $ hashdeep.py

Thank you so much. It is perfect.
I will create a dictionary like: 'name': "sha". How can I check this files are correct or not with given sha from dictionary?

This snippet contains no validation code. It is quite easy to add as a code kata. If you need to check just a single file, you can manually get the sha256 of that file with this command:

$ sha256sum < filename

And then compare visually.

For recursive check, the upstream utility should work this this format https://www.vpsinfo.com/tutorial/file-integrity-with-hashdeep/
