+ssdeep computes a checksum based on context triggered piecewise
+hashes (fuzzy hashes) for each input file. If requested, the program
+matches those checksums against a file of known checksums and reports
+any possible matches. It can also examine one or more of signatures
+and find any matches in those signatures.
