More user friendly output from `filepack verify` #78

Open mebious-dev opened 1 week ago

Printing the manifest on successful verification doesn't provide much utility in communicating the output and can be extremely lengthy with larger directory trees.

A possible alternative is to print a summary listing the total number of hashed files, the number of verified files and (if verification has failed) a number of unverified files.

--print is intended to both verify the manifest and print JSON so it can be used in a pipeline and guarantee that you're only using validated data:

$ filepack verify --print | some-other-function

That being said, I'd like to support more user friendly output for filepack verify, so I'll hijack this issue title to reflect that.

In the meantime additional documentation to clarify the usage of --print would be ideal, whether it is documented in man pages or in external documentation.

Makes sense! Added some docs in #79.
