crc32 - compute CRC-32 checksums for the given files

crc32 filename [ filename ... ]

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 malicious modification of files (i.e., it is not a cryptographic hash).

This utility is supplied with the Archive::Zip module for Perl.

Archive::Zip(3pm).

The Archive::Zip module was written by Ned Konz.
This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton <bab@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
