Checksum Table ============== The checksum table is a listing of all files in the archive (with the exception of the checksum table itself) that gives the MD5 checksum (message digest) for the file and the full path including file name. It is generated by the commonly available "MD5Deep" utility. This file is useful as a manifest for the archive and for data integrity assurance. The checksum files are: MD5.LBL The label for the checksum file. MD5.TAB The checksum table, as described in the label. Volume Index ============ The volume index files provide a file list for all PDS-labeled data products in the volume, and all previous volumes. These files reference the PDS labels only (note that there is one label per data product) and provide basic parameters for each data file as a whole. The file list index files are: INDEX.TAB The required PDS index file for the volume. Path and identifying information is included for each product. Index Labels and Formats ======================== Each index is provided with a PDS label with the same file name but an extension of ".LBL" rather than ".TAB", which describes the contents of the index in detail.
