How to find out a broken archive or not?

Question

Data archiving

Tell me please! Can you find out by the everyday structure of the archive (rar, zip) whether it is broken or not? Or just by comparing the checksum?

Answer 1

Some of the obviously broken archives you can identify through the service structures of the archive itself. Part - through the comparison of checksums. A small part will pass these checks and will be detected only during the decompression stage.

Answer 2

Therefore, is there a byte / bit in the archive structure that is responsible for the integrity of the archive?

Answer 3

In WinRAR, the "Test" button.
