NAME

     sum - compute the checksum and block count of a file


SYNOPSIS

     sum file


EXAMPLES

     sum /user/ast/xyz   # Checksum /user/ast/xyz


DESCRIPTION

     Sum computes the checksum of one or more files.  It is  most
     often  used to see if a file copied from another machine has
     been correctly received.  This program works best when  both
     machines use the same checksum algorithm.  See also crc.
