cksum does not give me crc32

Is cksum the right command to calculate the crc32 checksum value? I tried it for a number of files now and every time the results dont match. So there is nothing wrong with the file. Also, cksum gives me an all numerical value while crc32 is alpha numeric. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

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.

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 -...
