  Description     : PAR 2.0 compatible file verification and repair tool (turbo)

Par2-turbo is a simple fork of par2cmdline which replaces core
computation routines with ParPar’s processing backend, improving
par2cmdline’s performance on x86/ARM platforms.

Par2cmdline-turbo aims to keep close with its upstream and mostly
differs in the following areas related to performance:
 * GF16, MD5 and CRC32 computation, using ParPar’s implementation;
 * ParPar’s internal checksumming to detect RAM errors during GF16
   computation;
 * ParPar’s stitched hashing approach;
 * C++11's threads in place of par2cmdline's OpenMP dependency.

Par2-turbo is fully compatible with the reference implementation. It
is the par2 utility of choice for sabnzbdplus nowadays and included
in their windows and macos binaries. I intend to set both as valid
alternatives there, e.g. 'depends: par2-turbo | par2'.
