"""Additional help about CRC32C and installing crcmod.""" from __future__ import absolute_import from gslib.help_provider import HelpProvider _DETAILED_HELP_TEXT = (""" OVERVIEW Google Cloud Storage provides a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) header that allows clients to verify the integrity of object contents. For non-composite objects GCS also provides an MD5 header to allow clients to verify object integrity, but for composite objects only the CRC is available. gsutil automatically performs integrity checks on all uploads and downloads. Additionally, you can use the "gsutil hash" command to calculate a CRC for any local file. The CRC variant used by Google Cloud Storage is called CRC32C (Castagnoli), which is not available in the standard Python distribution. The implementation of CRC32C used by gsutil is provided by a third-party Python module called `crcmod `_. The crcmod module contains a pure-Python implementation of CRC32C, but using it results in very poor performance. A Python C extension is also provided by crcmod, which requires compiling into a binary module for use. gsutil ships with a precompiled crcmod C extension for Mac OS X; for other platforms, see the installation instructions below. At the end of each copy operation, the gsutil cp and rsync commands validate that the checksum of the source file/object matches the checksum of the destination file/object. If the checksums do not match, gsutil will delete the invalid copy and print a warning message. This very rarely happens, but if it does, please contact gs-team@google.com. CONFIGURATION To determine if the compiled version of crcmod is available in your Python environment, you can inspect the output of the gsutil version command for the "compiled crcmod" entry:: $ gsutil version -l ... compiled crcmod: True ... If your crcmod library is compiled to a native binary, this value will be True. If using the pure-Python version, the value will be False. To control gsutil's behavior in response to crcmod's status, you can set the "check_hashes" configuration variable. For details on this variable, see the surrounding comments in your gsutil configuration file. If check_hashes is not present in your configuration file, rerun gsutil config to regenerate the file. INSTALLATION CentOS, RHEL, and Fedora ------------------------ To compile and install crcmod: sudo yum install gcc python-devel python-setuptools sudo easy_install -U pip sudo pip uninstall crcmod sudo pip install -U crcmod Debian and Ubuntu ----------------- To compile and install crcmod: sudo apt-get install gcc python-dev python-setuptools sudo easy_install -U pip sudo pip uninstall crcmod sudo pip install -U crcmod Mac OS X -------- gsutil distributes a pre-compiled version of crcmod for OS X, so you shouldn't need to compile and install it yourself. If for some reason the pre-compiled version is not being detected, please let the Google Cloud Storage team know (see "gsutil help support"). To compile manually on OS X, you will first need to install `XCode `_ and then run: sudo easy_install -U pip sudo pip install -U crcmod Windows ------- An installer is available for the compiled version of crcmod from the Python Package Index (PyPi) at the following URL: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/crcmod/1.7 MSI installers are available for the 32-bit versions of Python 2.6 and 2.7. Make sure to install to a 32-bit Python directory. If you're using 64-bit Python it won't work with 32-bit crcmod, and instead you'll need to install 32-bit Python in order to use crcmod. Note: If you have installed crcmod and gsutil hasn't detected it, it may have been installed to the wrong directory. It should be located at \\files\\Lib\\site-packages\\crcmod\\ In some cases the installer will incorrectly install to \\Lib\\site-packages\\crcmod\\ Manually copying the crcmod directory to the correct location should resolve the issue.
