  Description     : Fast hashing for large files

 imohash is a fast, constant-time hashing library for Go. It uses file
 size and sampling to calculate hashes quickly, regardless of file size.
 .
 Uses
 .
 Because imohash only reads a small portion of a file's data, it is very
 fast and well suited to file synchronization and deduplication,
 especially over a fairly slow network. A need to manage media (photos
 and video) over Wi-Fi between a NAS and multiple family computers is how
 the library was born.

This is a dependency of croc, which I'm also working on packaging.
