Note: a Unix-style tool like "zfec" does only one thing -- in this case
erasure coding -- and leaves other tasks to other tools. Other Unix-style
-tools that go well with zfec include "GNU tar" for archiving multiple files and
-directories into one file, "rzip" for compression, "GNU Privacy Guard" for
-encryption, and "sha256sum" for integrity. It is important to do things in
-order: first archive, then compress, then either encrypt or sha256sum, then
-erasure code. Note that if GNU Privacy Guard is used for privacy, then it will
-also ensure integrity, so the use of sha256sum is unnecessary in that case.
