- Not to be confused with BRIK/HEAD.
Brik is a file checksumming utility. It was developed by Rahul Dhesi (also known for Zoo).

[edit] Discussion
Given a set of source files, Brik can create a "CRC list file": a text file containing a list of filenames and their CRC-32 checksums. Or, it can validate the files listed in such a file.
The CRC algorithm seems to be CRC-32/JAMCRC.
[edit] Identification
A CRC list file normally starts with a line of ASCII text that begins "# Whole file CRCs generated by Brik".
