erasure coding -- and leaves other tasks to other tools. Other Unix-style
tools that go well with zfec include "GNU tar" for archiving multiple files and
directories into one file, "rzip" for compression, "GNU Privacy Guard" for
encryption, and "sha256sum" for integrity. It is important to do things in
order: first archive, then compress, then either encrypt or sha256sum, then
erasure code. Note that if GNU Privacy Guard is used for privacy, then it will
also ensure integrity, so the use of sha256sum is unnecessary in that case.
