+libpar2 (file corruption detection library for C++)
+
+libpar2 allows for the generation, modification, verification of PAR v1.0
+and PAR v2.0(PAR2) sets used for recovery when data is lost or corrupted. When
+used with collections of files, some missing files can be regenerated.
+
+The code was initially extracted from the program par2cmdline (also available
+at SlackBuilds) to allow developers to use it.
+
+libpar2 requires the libsigc++ library which is also available from
+SlackBuilds.org.
