|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR cksum
|
|
utility writes to the standard output three whitespace separated
|
|
fields for each input file.
|
|
These fields are a checksum
|
|
.BR CRC ,
|
|
the total number of octets in the file and the file name.
|
|
If no file name is specified, the standard input is used and no file name
|
|
is written.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR sum
|
|
utility is identical to the
|
|
.BR cksum
|
|
utility, except that it defaults to using historic algorithm 1,
|
|
described below.
|
|
It is provided for compatibility.
|
|
You can either install the
|
|
.BR sum
|
|
program (which has the same content as the
|
|
.BR cksum
|
|
program file) or create a
|
|
.IR gsh (1)
|
|
alias that invokes
|
|
.BR cksum :
|
|
.nf
|
|
alias sum "cksum -o 1"
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
The program options are as follows:
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP \fB-o\fR
|
|
Use historic algorithms instead of the (superior) default one.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
Algorithm 1 is the algorithm used by historic
|
|
systems as the
|
|
.BR sum (1)
|
|
algorithm and by historic
|
|
systems as the
|
|
.BR sum
|
|
algorithm when using the
|
|
.BR -r
|
|
option.
|
|
This is a 16-bit checksum, with a right rotation before each addition;
|
|
overflow is discarded.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
Algorithm 2 is the algorithm used by historic
|
|
systems as the
|
|
default
|
|
.BR sum
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
This is a 32-bit checksum, and is defined as follows:
|
|
.nf
|
|
s = sum of all bytes;
|
|
r = s % 2^16 + (s % 2^32) / 2^16;
|
|
cksum = (r % 2^16) + r / 2^16;
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
Algorithm 3, a 32-bit checksum, is commonly called the
|
|
.BR "32bit CRC"
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
Algorithms 1 and 2 write the same fields as
|
|
the default algorithm except the size of the file is
|
|
expressed in blocks.
|
|
For historic reasons, the block size is 1024 for algorithm 1 and 512
|
|
for algorithm 2.
|
|
Partial blocks are rounded up.
|
|
.RE
|

|
The default
|
|
.BR CRC
|
|
used is based on the polynomial used for
|
|
.BR CRC
|
|
error checking
|
|
in the networking standard
|
|
POSIX-3.
|
|
The
|
|
.BR CRC
|
|
checksum encoding is defined by the generating polynomial:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
G(x) = x^32 + x^26 + x^23 + x^22 + x^16 + x^12 +
|
|
x^11 + x^10 + x^8 + x^7 + x^5 + x^4 + x^2 + x + 1
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
Mathematically, the
|
|
.BR CRC
|
|
value corresponding to a given file is defined by
|
|
the following procedure:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
The
|
|
.BR n
|
|
bits to be evaluated are considered to be the coefficients of a mod 2
|
|
polynomial M(x) of degree
|
|
.BR n-1 .
|
|
These
|
|
.BR n
|
|
bits are the bits from the file, with the most significant bit being the most
|
|
significant bit of the first octet of the file and the last bit being the least
|
|
significant bit of the last octet, padded with zero bits (if necessary) to
|
|
achieve an integral number of octets, followed by one or more octets
|
|
representing the length of the file as a binary value, least significant octet
|
|
first.
|
|
The smallest number of octets capable of representing this integer are used.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
M(x) is multiplied by x^32 (i.e., shifted left 32 bits) and divided by
|
|
G(x) using mod 2 division, producing a remainder R(x) of degree <= 31.
|
|
The coefficients of R(x) are considered to be a 32-bit sequence.
|
|
The bit sequence is complemented and the result is the CRC.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS

The default calculation is identical to that given in pseudo-code

in the
|

.SH VERSION
|
|
This manual page documents
|
|
.BR cksum
|
|
version 2.0.
|
|
.SH ATTRIBUTIONS
|
|
This command was ported from FreeBSD source code
|
|
for distribution with GNO/ME 2.0.6.
|
|
.SH HISTORY
|
|
A version of
|
|
.BR sum
|
|
translated from GNU code in 1991 by Marek Pawlowski was distributed with
|
|
earlier releases of GNO. Unfortunately, as that version reads files it
|
|
translates carriage return characters into new line characters. To use
|
|
.BR cksum
|
|
to calulate a checksum that matches the old
|
|
.BR sum ,
|
|
use
|
|
.IR tr (1)
|
|
to translate the input stream. For example,
|
|
.nf
|
|
tr '\\r' '\\n' < filename | cksum -o 1
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.BR cksum
|
|
utility is expected to conform to
|
|
POSIX-2.
