I do ls -l ABC*, I get arg list too long message. This will not happen if ABC* has small no of files I believe 4000 files is limit. Any way of avoiding this.
I even tried like this
for i in `ls -l ABC*`

Same problem.
Any solution would be great.

Hello,
I'm trying to search through 30,000 files in 1 directory, and am getting the "arg list too long" error. I've searched this forum and have been playing around with xargs and can't get that to work either. I'm using ksh on Solaris.

sum
sum(n) Cyclic Redundancy Checks sum(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
sum - Calculate a sum(1) compatible checksum
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2
package require sum ?1.1.0?
::crc::sum ?-bsd | -sysv? ?-format fmt? ?-chunksize size? [ -filename file | -channel chan | string ]
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This package provides a Tcl-only implementation of the sum(1) command which calculates a 16 bit checksum value from the input data. The
BSD sum algorithm is used by default but the SysV algorithm is also available.
COMMANDS
::crc::sum ?-bsd | -sysv? ?-format fmt? ?-chunksize size? [ -filename file | -channel chan | string ]
The command takes string data or a file name or a channel and returns a checksum value calculated using the sum(1) algorithm. The
result is formatted using the format(n) specifier provided or as an unsigned integer (%u) by default.
OPTIONS -sysv The SysV algorithm is fairly naive. The byte values are summed and any overflow is discarded. The lowest 16 bits are returned as the
checksum. Input with the same content but different ordering will give the same result.
-bsd This algorithm is similar to the SysV version but includes a bit rotation step which provides a dependency on the order of the data
values.
-filename name
Return a checksum for the file contents instead of for parameter data.
-channel chan
Return a checksum for the contents of the specified channel. The channel must be open for reading and should be configured for
binary translation. The channel will no be closed on completion.
-chunksize size
Set the block size used when reading data from either files or channels. This value defaults to 4096.
-format string
Return the checksum using an alternative format template.
EXAMPLES
% crc::sum "Hello, World!"
37287
% crc::sum -format 0x%X "Hello, World!"
0x91A7
% crc::sum -file sum.tcl
13392
