There are lots of different CRC-32 algorithms in use and many more could be devised. The polynomial used in the calculation varies among them. This page list some of them. The CRC-32 used by and Unix that meets Posix requirements is the IEEE CRC-32. That utility probably is using another CRC - 32. They are both real CRC -32's but the Unix version is standard.

Anyone know how cksum works?

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 - file1 -... (5 Replies)

cksum question

Hi there, I have a query about cksum. I'm running a script on the Unix box and in a script the cksum result differs from when I run it manually. As far as I can see the file is not being changed, is there any other times that the cksum would be different. (4 Replies)

EEPROM CKSUM? what is this?

Hi all, So I have a binary file and I need to generate an expected EEPROM checksum for it. Ideally, I would like to input the file (with the path) and output a computed checksum. Ive been using (cksum file1) with no avail and I was just curious as to whether there is such thing as EEPROM cksum,... (1 Reply)

cksum's and zip's CRC32 algorithm

Hello! For long I used cksum to find file duplicates in linux and darwin. Now I want to make my own program that does all. However I can't seem to find the correct algorithm. zip and cksum claim to use the same algorithm, but the computated sums are not the same. I've already written an... (4 Replies)

List all files with prepended CRC32 (or other) hash code?

I would like to list all files in a directory tree but with a prepended digest hash code (like CRC32). CRC32 is not a MUST. If suitable another hash code can be used as well. In case of CRC32 the listing should look like 3765AC \usr\bin\spool 23CE99 \usr\bin\spool\list.h ... 11AA04... (3 Replies)
