Description: Metalink is the main Metalink generation tool. It combines a list
of mirrors
(from stdin) and a number of files into one Metalink record (stdout). It can
also be used to transform a MD5SUMS file into a metalink.

Features currently include:
- Hashing algorithms: md4 md5 sha1 sha256 sha384 sha512 rmd160 tiger crc32
  ed2k gnunet
- Generation of Metalink files from MD5SUMS lists


Metalinks are XML files listing mirrors and checksums. Currently, Fedora uses
MirrorManager to create Metalinks for files like ISOs. This app is a simple
command line tool that can create them.
