cksum all executables on drive
I know I can run the cksum command for multiple files in a directory and send the results to a new file.
EX.)
# cd /usr
# cksum *_ex* > /tmp/cksumusr.txt
But I can't figure out how to run this command on multiple files in all directories on drive. Is it possible to do this, without having to manually type these commands for every directory on my drive, and how would I go about it.
If you could help me I would appreciate it.
Thanx

hello all.
I'm not asking about the algorithm - or how it goes about computing the checksum - I'm asking how it views/looks at the files it does the cksum on.
For instance:
Say you had a directory named "dir_A"
And within this directory you had some files.
So:
dir_A

cksum(n) Cyclic Redundancy Checks cksum(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
cksum - Calculate a cksum(1) compatible checksum
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2
package require cksum ?1.1.2?
::crc::cksum ?-format format? ?-chunksize size? [ -channel chan | -filename file | string ]
::crc::CksumInit
::crc::CksumUpdate token data
::crc::CksumFinal token
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides a Tcl implementation of the cksum(1) algorithm based upon information provided at in the GNU implementation of this
program as part of the GNU Textutils 2.0 package.
COMMANDS
::crc::cksum ?-format format? ?-chunksize size? [ -channel chan | -filename file | string ]
The command takes string data or a channel or file name and returns a checksum value calculated using the cksum(1) algorithm. The
result is formatted using the format(n) specifier provided or as an unsigned integer (%u) by default.
OPTIONS
-channel name
Return a checksum for the data read from a channel. The command will read data from the channel until the eof is true. If you need
to be able to process events during this calculation see the PROGRAMMING INTERFACE section
-filename name
This is a convenience option that opens the specified file, sets the encoding to binary and then acts as if the -channel option had
been used. The file is closed on completion.
-format string
Return the checksum using an alternative format template.
PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The cksum package implements the checksum using a context variable to which additional data can be added at any time. This is expecially
useful in an event based environment such as a Tk application or a web server package. Data to be checksummed may be handled incrementally
during a fileevent handler in discrete chunks. This can improve the interactive nature of a GUI application and can help to avoid excessive
memory consumption.
::crc::CksumInit
Begins a new cksum context. Returns a token ID that must be used for the remaining functions. An optional seed may be specified if
required.
::crc::CksumUpdate token data
Add data to the checksum identified by token. Calling CksumUpdate $token "abcd" is equivalent to calling CksumUpdate $token "ab"
followed by CksumUpdate $token "cb". See EXAMPLES.
::crc::CksumFinal token
Returns the checksum value and releases any resources held by this token. Once this command completes the token will be invalid. The
result is a 32 bit integer value.
EXAMPLES
% crc::cksum "Hello, World!"
2609532967
% crc::cksum -format 0x%X "Hello, World!"
0x9B8A5027
% crc::cksum -file cksum.tcl
1828321145
% set tok [crc::CksumInit]
% crc::CksumUpdate $tok "Hello, "
% crc::CksumUpdate $tok "World!"
% crc::CksumFinal $tok
