libdicformat

C implementation of DiscImageChef file format.

Work in progress, don't expect it to work yet.

The target is to be able with a normal C (C89 compliant) compiler, having no external dependencies. This means any hash or compression algorithm must be statically linked inside the library.

cmake is not a hard dependency, it's merely for the ease of using IDEs (specifically CLion).

Things still to be implemented that are already in the C# version:

• Caching
• Tape file blocks
• Automatic media type generation from C# enumeration
• Nuget package for linking with DiscImageChef
• Writing
• Hashing while writing (requires MD5, SHA1, SHA256 and SpamSum)
• Deduplication (requires SHA256)
• Compression (requires FLAC and LZMA)

Things to be implemented not in the C# version:

• Compile for Dreamcast (KallistiOS preferibly)
• Compile for PlayStation Portable
• Compile for Wii
• Compile for Wii U
• Compile for PlayStation 2
• Compile for PlayStation 3
• Unit testing
