Description

Checks whether archive files can still be read correctly, helping detect corruption before backups, transfers, or long-term storage are trusted. It is useful for users who keep important compressed datasets or release archives.

Integrity checks can confirm that an archive is structurally readable, but they do not prove the contents are safe or authentic unless combined with trusted checksums or signatures.
