+It creates a database from the regular expression rules that it finds
+from the config file. Once this database is initialized it can be
+used to verify the integrity of the files. It has several message
+digest algorithms (md5,sha1,rmd160,tiger,haval,etc.) that are used to

+for inconsistencies. It can read databases from older or newer
+versions. See the manual pages within the distribution for further
