The driveinfo command is a bash script. This script verifies itself by performing a 32 bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC32). If modifications are made to the script, then an error message with the new CRC32 value will be produced. This error message can be eliminated by using the i option or replacing the CRC32 value at the end of the script. The i option can also be placed in the DRIVEINFO_OPTIONS environment variable.
The driveinfo source git repository contains the script files driveinfo, math and help. Both the math and help files are merged into the driveinfo file to create the released single driveinfo file. The git repository can be accessed from either SourceForge or GitHub.
