CRC Value ?

how can you obtain CRC information of files under HPUX 10.20 I need to check CRC on several files in a directory

I think CRC is generated when you tar or zip some files.

There is command checksum (not sure of the name). You can use it find your CRC.

Gotcha,

To get the CRC use "sum"
The other one is cksum

I don't know if it has anything to do with CRC or not, but the command Vibhor is referring to is cksum.

Thanks so far, the last post did not help since the recommended document could not be found

id would be ingenious if we could check all files incl. subdirs

Pete Randall — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 07:07:44 GMT

Hans,

To recursively check, including subdirectories, use the find command:

find /starting_dir -type f -exec cksum {} \;
