# This "enchant" spell imbues a file with the power of its own hash, binding it to its own unique identity.
# The spell requires a single argument: the path to the file to be enchanted.
# The resulting CRC-32 hash is saved as an extended attribute called "user.hash" in hexadecimal.
# Check if the required argument was provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
# If no argument was given, display an error message and exit
echo "Error: No file specified."
exit 1
