1File-HStore version 0.10
2========================
3
4
5File-HStore is a very minimalist perl library to store files on a
6filesystem using a very simple hash-based storage.
7
8File-HStore is nothing more than a simple wrapper interface to a
9storage containing a specific directory structure where files are hold
10based on their hashes. The name of the directories is based on the
11first two bytes of the hexadecimal form of the digest. The file is
12stored and named with its full hexadecimal form in the corresponding
13prefixed directory.
14
15The current version is supporting the SHA-1 and SHA-2 (256 bits)
16algorithm. The FAT (Free Archive Toolkit) format is also supported and
17it is composed of the date of submission plus the SHA-2 real digest
18part.
