CRC32(1) General Commands Manual CRC32(1)
NAME
crc32 - compute CRC-32 checksums for the given files
SYNOPSIS
crc32 filename [ filename ... ]
DESCRIPTION
crc32 is a simple utility that calculates the CRC-32 checksum for each
of the given files.
Note that the CRC-32 checksum is merely used for error detection in
transmission and storage. It is not intended to guard against the ma-
licious modification of files (i.e., it is not a cryptographic hash).
This utility is supplied with the Archive::Zip module for Perl.
