checkdigits - check or generate check digits
This document describes checkdigits v1.3.3
checkdigits [Options] command [[number] ...] options: -algorithm alg - use this algorithm commands: check - check validity of number containing checkdigit checkdigit - return checkdigit belonging to number complete - return number completed with checkdigit list_algorithms - list all known algorithms describe - describe the given algorithms
This is a command line program that may be used to compute any checkdigit known by the perl module Algorithm::CheckDigits.
-algorithm alg
Compute checkdigits according to algorithm alg. Instead of providing the algorithm with this option, you may choose to rename the program to the name of the algorithm or to "checkdigits-" followed by the name of the algorithm.
You must provide the algorithm with any of these means or the program will not compute any checkdigit.
check
checkdigit
complete
When called with this command, the program will take the number compute the appropriate checkdigits and return the complete number with checkdigits.
describe
Called with this command, the program will list the algorithm handles given on the command line with a short description or the word "unknown" for any unknown algorithm. See command list_algorithms for a list of known algorithms.
list_algorithms
Called with this command, the program will list all known algorithms together with a short description and then exit.
At the moment the program doesn't recognise any environment variables.
The algorithm to use may be predefined by renaming the program to the name of the algorithm or to "checkdigits-" followed by the name of the algorithm.
