Checksum Verification

This new feature allows the user the option to set the checksum attributes on one or more files. If the "generate attribute" is set, a 128-bit value is generated when the file is archived. When the file is subsequently staged, the checksum is again generated and is compared against the value generated at archive time if the use attribute is set. The algorithm to use for generating the value can be the LSC supplied checksum or a user-supplied checksum.

See the ssum(1) man page for details, also affected are the archive(1) and release(1) man pages.
