Assuming: You want to checksum the directory file itself ( that is what your command seems to imply) then you need read and execute privilege on ravi. You can also get errors when the directory file is corrupted.

What does the command ls -ld ./ravi show? Please post the output.


What are you trying to do? it sounds like you want to checksum everything in the directory.

Maybe like this?:
Code:
cksum $(find ./ravi -type f)

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)

scsi_poll(9F)						   Kernel Functions for Drivers 					     scsi_poll(9F)

NAME
scsi_poll - run a polled SCSI command on behalf of a target driver SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h> int scsi_poll(struct scsi_pkt *pkt); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
pkt Pointer to the scsi_pkt(9S) structure. DESCRIPTION
scsi_poll() requests the host adapter driver to run a polled command. Unlike scsi_transport(9F) which runs commands asynchronously, scsi_poll() runs commands to completion before returning. If the pkt_time member of pkt is 0, the value of pkt_time is defaulted to SCSI_POLL_TIMEOUT to prevent an indefinite hang of the system. RETURN VALUES
scsi_poll() returns: 0 command completed successfully. -1 command failed. CONTEXT
scsi_poll() can be called from user or interrupt level. This function should not be called when the caller is executing timeout(9F) in the context of a thread. SEE ALSO
makecom(9F), scsi_transport(9F), scsi_pkt(9S) Writing Device Drivers WARNINGS
Since scsi_poll() runs commands to completion before returning, it may require more time than is desirable when called from interrupt con- text. Therefore, calling scsi_poll from interrupt context is not recommended. SunOS 5.10 30 Aug 1995 scsi_poll(9F)
