I assume that a typical file system tends to keep some kind of checksum / CRC / hash of each file that it manages, so it can detect file corruption.
Is this right? And if so, is there a way to access it?
I am primarily interested in Windows and NTFS, but comments on other platforms are also welcome ... The language is unimportant at the moment, but I would like to avoid assembler if possible.
Thank.
