Package: libbitcollider1 (0.6.0-1)

bitcollider library

This is used by the bitcollider program.

Think of it as a really big file hash database on the internet with constant contributions from others of metadata on files.

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 fingerprint,

  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, submitting

  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.
