    Parameters:
      `file` - a `File` value

  - ### setTodir

    public void setTodir(File todir)
    Sets the root directory where checksum files will be written/read
    Parameters:
      `todir` - the directory to write to
    Since:
      Ant 1.6

  - ### setAlgorithm

    public void setAlgorithm(String algorithm)
    Specifies the algorithm to be used to compute the checksum. Defaults to "MD5". Other popular algorithms like "SHA" may be used as well.
    Parameters:
      `algorithm` - a `String` value

  - ### setProvider

    public void setProvider(String provider)
    Sets the MessageDigest algorithm provider to be used to calculate the checksum.
    Parameters:
      `provider` - a `String` value

  - ### setFileext

    public void setFileext(String fileext)
    Sets the file extension that is be to used to create or identify destination file.
    Parameters:
      `fileext` - a `String` value

  - ### setProperty

    public void setProperty(String property)
    Sets the property to hold the generated checksum.
    Parameters:

  - ### setTotalproperty

    public void setTotalproperty(String totalproperty)
    Sets the property to hold the generated total checksum for all files.
    Parameters:
      `totalproperty` - a `String` value
    Since:
      Ant 1.6

  - ### setVerifyproperty

    public void setVerifyproperty(String verifyProperty)
    Sets the verify property. This project property holds the result of a checksum verification - "true" or "false"
    Parameters:
      `verifyProperty` - a `String` value

  - ### setForceOverwrite

    public void setForceOverwrite(boolean forceOverwrite)
    Whether or not to overwrite existing file irrespective of whether it is newer than the source file. Defaults to false.
    Parameters:
      `forceOverwrite` - a `boolean` value

  - ### setReadBufferSize

    public void setReadBufferSize(int size)
    The size of the read buffer to use.
    Parameters:
      `size` - an `int` value

  - ### setFormat

    public void setFormat(Checksum.FormatElement e)
    Select the in/output pattern via a well know format name.

  - ### setPattern

    public void setPattern(String pattern)
    Specify the pattern to use as a MessageFormat pattern.

    {0} gets replaced by the checksum, {1} by the filename.

  - ### add

    public void add(ResourceCollection rc)
    Add a resource collection.
    Parameters:
      `rc` - the ResourceCollection to add.

  - ### execute

    public void execute() throws BuildException
    Calculate the checksum(s).

      `BuildException` - on error

  - ### eval

    public boolean eval() throws BuildException
    Calculate the checksum(s)
    Specified by:
      `eval` in interface `Condition`

  - ### decodeHex

    public static byte[] decodeHex(char[] data) throws BuildException
    Converts an array of characters representing hexadecimal values into an array of bytes of those same values. The returned array will be half the length of the passed array, as it takes two characters to represent any given byte. An exception is thrown if the passed char array has an odd number of elements. NOTE: This code is copied from jakarta-commons codec.
    Parameters:
      `data` - an array of characters representing hexadecimal values
    Returns:
      the converted array of bytes
    Throws:
      `BuildException` - on error
