(synopsis "File verification and repair tools")
(description "Par2cmdline uses Reed-Solomon error-correcting codes to
generate and verify PAR2 recovery files. These files can be distributed
alongside the source files or stored together with back-ups to protect against
transmission errors or @dfn{bit rot}, the degradation of storage media over
time.
Unlike a simple checksum, PAR2 doesn't merely detect errors: as long as the
damage isn't to great (and smaller than the size of the recovery file), it can
even repair them.")
