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

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)

Hi Guys,
Sometimes, I have a problem with transferred files in ftp session. Thats why I want to produce checksum value in my local server and remote server. But I could not find anyway to produce checksum value of transferred files in remote server.
Do you have any idea?

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
