File Manifest

The file manifest is itself a file that contains metadata about the files uploaded to a R24 data archive in order to verify that a file upload was both complete and correct.

The contents of the file manifest should be formatted as a tab-separated value (TSV) file with the following information:

File Identifier	File Path	File Size	*Checksum	File Type
foo/foo.fastq.gz	foo/foo.fastq.gz	12345678	22dbf4d138bebdbe1f4faff956e263f9	fastq.gz
foo/bar.fastq.gz	foo/bar.fastq.gz	12345679	4d38082f2aebe96442497053d36f8161	fastq.gz

The checksum column should be named with the checksum function used to check the file, so in this instance it should be named "md5".

Supported checksum functions include md5, sha1, blake2.
