DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly describes the bitcolliderd> command.
- Bitcollider is a small program to reliably identify and describe files
on your machine. When run with a specific file as input, this program
does two major things:
- · It examines the file, calculating a distinctive digital finger
print, or bitprint, and taking note of some other identifying information that can be extracted from the file, like file length and the local filename.
- · It launches your web browser to do a lookup at our website, sub
mitting this identifying information as the search terms.
- At bitzi.com you'll see what - if anything - others have said about your file, and have a chance to contribute descriptions or comments yourself. If your automatic submission included information useful to our database, that new information will be contributed to the database under your screen name.
- For more information, go to http://bitzi.com/bitcollider.
