Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to get checksum of itself Post 302991335 by drl on Thursday 9th of February 2017 09:46:13 AM

Hi.

Perhaps use the calculated checksum as the name of the file. That way the checksum is outside the content of the file, yet is still associated with it.

Just a thought experiment.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

checksum

Does anyone know the answer to this? When I run "sum -r" on a file that I've down loaded from the sco website, the 1st set of numbers differs from the checksum on the download page but the 2nd set matches. If I try to install the patch, I get errors. Anyone has an answer? (3 Replies)

#include <krb5.h> typedef Checksum krb5_checksum; void krb5_checksum_disable(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype type); krb5_boolean krb5_checksum_is_collision_proof(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype type); krb5_boolean krb5_checksum_is_keyed(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype type); krb5_error_code krb5_cksumtype_valid(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype ctype); krb5_error_code krb5_checksumsize(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype type, size_t *size); krb5_error_code krb5_create_checksum(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto, krb5_key_usage usage, int type, void *data, size_t len, Checksum *result); krb5_error_code krb5_verify_checksum(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto, krb5_key_usage usage, void *data, size_t len, Checksum *cksum); krb5_error_code krb5_crypto_get_checksum_type(krb5_context context, krb5_crypto crypto, krb5_cksumtype *type); void krb5_free_checksum(krb5_context context, krb5_checksum *cksum); void krb5_free_checksum_contents(krb5_context context, krb5_checksum *cksum); krb5_error_code krb5_hmac(krb5_context context, krb5_cksumtype cktype, const void *data, size_t len, unsigned usage, krb5_keyblock *key, Checksum *result); krb5_error_code krb5_copy_checksum(krb5_context context, const krb5_checksum *old, krb5_checksum **new); DESCRIPTION
The krb5_checksum structure holds a Kerberos checksum. There is no component inside krb5_checksum that is directly referable. The functions are used to create and verify checksums. krb5_create_checksum() creates a checksum of the specified data, and puts it in result. If crypto is NULL, usage_or_type specifies the checksum type to use; it must not be keyed. Otherwise crypto is an encryption context created by krb5_crypto_init(), and usage_or_type specifies a key-usage. krb5_verify_checksum() verifies the checksum against the provided data. krb5_checksum_is_collision_proof() returns true is the specified checksum is collision proof (that it's very unlikely that two strings has the same hash value, and that it's hard to find two strings that has the same hash). Examples of collision proof checksums are MD5, and SHA1, while CRC32 is not. krb5_checksum_is_keyed() returns true if the specified checksum type is keyed (that the hash value is a function of both the data, and a sep- arate key). Examples of keyed hash algorithms are HMAC-SHA1-DES3, and RSA-MD5-DES. The ``plain'' hash functions MD5, and SHA1 are not keyed. krb5_crypto_get_checksum_type() returns the checksum type that will be used when creating a checksum for the given crypto context. This function is useful in combination with krb5_checksumsize() when you want to know the size a checksum will use when you create it. krb5_cksumtype_valid() returns 0 or an error if the checksumtype is implemented and not currently disabled in this kerberos library. krb5_checksumsize() returns the size of the outdata of checksum function. krb5_copy_checksum() returns a copy of the checksum krb5_free_checksum() should use used to free the new checksum. krb5_free_checksum() free the checksum and the content of the checksum. krb5_free_checksum_contents() frees the content of checksum in cksum. krb5_hmac() calculates the HMAC over data (with length len) using the keyusage usage and keyblock key. Note that keyusage is not always used in checksums. krb5_checksum_disable globally disables the checksum type. SEE ALSO
