If so, how does the app find out about it? eet_data_read() > returning NULL? no checksums. if compressed, decompression of a data segment fails and u get NULL. if header is unusable (doesnt have keys or points out of file) u get null, if header points to wrong place in file - u dont know - u get wrong data (if compressed it'd be not able to be decompressed). same with signed data. if its not compressed and not signed, unless the file is truncated during or before the data blob, you won't know its corrupt unless u have a way to verify the data blob itself. as such eet encoded data structs willl probably fail to decode in this situation even if not compressed as u are pointing to garbage that will make no sense. if you are hell bent on ensuring the file u have is exactly as it was intended originally - checksum the whole file yourself and keep md5/sha1 or whatever sums separately. :) > If not, is there an easy way to checksum all the data, so I can do it > myself?
