sum(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands sum(1B)NAME
sum - calculate a checksum for a file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/sum file...
DESCRIPTION
sum calculates and displays a 16-bit checksum for the named file and displays the size of the file in kilobytes. It is typically used to
look for bad spots, or to validate a file communicated over some transmission line. The checksum is calculated by an algorithm which may
yield different results on machines with 16-bit ints and machines with 32-bit ints, so it cannot always be used to validate that a file has
been transferred between machines with different-sized ints.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of sum when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |

SEE ALSO sum(1), wc(1), attributes(5), largefile(5)DIAGNOSTICS
Read error is indistinguishable from EOF on most devices; check the block count.
NOTES
sum and /usr/bin/sum (see sum(1)) return different checksums.
This utility is obsolete.

sum(1) General Commands Manual sum(1)NAME
sum - print checksum and block or byte count of file(s)
SYNOPSIS
[file ...]
Remarks
is obsolescent and should not be used in new applications that are intended to be portable between systems. Use instead (see cksum(1)).
DESCRIPTION
calculates and prints to standard output a checksum for each named file, and also prints the size of the file in 512 byte blocks, rounded
up.
The default algorithm is a 16-bit sum of the bytes in which overflow is ignored. Alternate algorithms can be selected with the and
options.
Standard input is used if no file names are given.
is typically used to verify data integrity when copying files between systems.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Use an alternate algorithm in which the 16-bit sum is right rotated
with each byte in computing the checksum.
Use the 32-bit cyclical redundancy check (CRC) algorithm used by
RETURN VALUE
returns the following values upon completion:
All files were processed successfully.
One or more files could not be read or some other error occurred.
If an inaccessible file is encountered, continues processing any remaining files, but the final exit status is affected.
DIAGNOSTICS
Read error conditions are indistinguishable from end of file on most devices; check the block or byte count.
WARNINGS
This command is likely to be withdrawn from X/Open standards. Applications using this command might not be portable to other vendors'
platforms. The usage of cksum(1) is recommended.

Hi,
1-I want to calculate the size of all files which are generated during last month in a directory. How can I do that ?
Of cours, I find them by :
