# App Check Tool

## Overview

The app check tool is used to analyze and detect application installation packages. Based on the parameter settings, it scans the HAP, HSP, or APP file in the specified path and generates detection reports, providing data support for you to optimize the package structure or locate problems. The tool provides the following functions:
- Scans for duplicate files.
- Scans for large files (files that exceed the specified size).
- Collects statistics on the size and proportion of each type of file.

By default, the tool generates detection reports in JSON and HTML format.

The **app_check_tool.jar** package of the tool is stored in the **toolchains** directory of the SDK.

## Constraints
The app check tool must run in Java 8 or later.

## Scanning for Duplicate Files

**Command example**

```
java -jar app_check_tool.jar --input ./test.app --out-path ./test --stat-duplicate true
```
