tcl.chksum

Verb: Access/TCL, Releases: AP

Creates check-sums for all or selected items in a file.

Syntax

chksum file.reference itemlist*

Description

calculates a hexadecimal 'checksum' for either an entire file or a list of items in the file, and outputs the results to a file.

When an 'item.list*' is specified, statistics are calculated only for the selected item-ids. If not specified, the entire file is used.

A new data section called 'checksum' is created in the specified file. Each item in the 'checksum' data section corresponds to an item in the requested file's data section and the first attribute of each item contains the hexadecimal checksum for the item.

Example

chksum temp
[404] 7 items selected out of 7 items.
runoff.box
i/nosave
basic.debugger.t
filename.sysprog-bp
op.col
op.macro.file
