Hi Abdul:

If you have the 'whatis' manpage database, you can do:

# man -k checksum
cksum(1) - print file checksum and sizes
sum(1) - print checksum and block or byte count of file(s)
#

...which would divulge 'cksum'.

To create the 'whatis' database, do:

# catman -w

(or)

# catman -m

...if you want to pre-format your manpages and create or update the 'whatis' database. See the manpages for 'catman' for more information.

Regards!
