Check command: -files vs -chunks options

Does the -chunks option basically replace the -files option, or is there an advantage to -files for checking for corruption?

-files checks the integrity of each file – it is basically the same as a full restore operation without writing files to the local disk. -chunks only checks the integrity of each chunk. It is possible that -chunks reports no errors but some files can’t be restored due to a bug in Duplicacy’s code or memory corruption that happens in the backup operation.
