- This manual page documents the GNU version of cccckkkkssssuuuummmm. cccckkkkssssuuuummmm
- computes a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for each named
- file, or the standard input if none are given or when a file
- named ` -' is given. It prints the CRC for each file along
- with the number of bytes in the file, and the file name
- unless no arguments were given.
-
- cccckkkkssssuuuummmm is typically used to make sure that files have been
- transferred by unreliable means (such as netnews) have not
- been corrupted, by comparing the cccckkkkssssuuuummmm output for the
- received files with the cccckkkkssssuuuummmm output for the original files.
- The CRC algorithm is specified by the POSIX.2 standard. It
- is not compatible with the BSD or System V ssssuuuummmm programs; it
- is more robust.
