NAME
       cksum - Calculate a cksum(1) compatible checksum

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.2

       package require cksum  ?1.1.3?

       ::crc::cksum ?-format format? ?-chunksize size? [ -channel chan | -filename file | string ]

       ::crc::CksumInit

       ::crc::CksumUpdate token data

       ::crc::CksumFinal token

DESCRIPTION
       This  package provides a Tcl implementation of the cksum(1) algorithm based upon information provided
       at in the GNU implementation of this program as part of the GNU Textutils 2.0 package.

COMMANDS
       ::crc::cksum ?-format format? ?-chunksize size? [ -channel chan | -filename file | string ]
              The command takes string data or a channel or file name and returns a  checksum  value  calcu-lated calculated
              lated using the cksum(1) algorithm. The result is formatted using the format(n) specifier pro-vided provided
              vided or as an unsigned integer (%u) by default.


OPTIONS
       -channel name
              Return a checksum for the data read from a channel. The command will read data from the  chan-nel channel
              nel  until  the  eof is true. If you need to be able to process events during this calculation
              see the PROGRAMMING INTERFACE section

       -filename name
              This is a convenience option that opens the specified file, sets the encoding  to  binary  and
              then acts as if the -channel option had been used. The file is closed on completion.

       -format string
              Return the checksum using an alternative format template.


PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
       The  cksum  package  implements the checksum using a context variable to which additional data can be
       added at any time. This is expecially useful in an event based environment such as a  Tk  application
       or  a web server package. Data to be checksummed may be handled incrementally during a fileevent han-dler handler
       dler in discrete chunks. This can improve the interactive nature of a GUI application and can help to
       avoid excessive memory consumption.

       ::crc::CksumInit
              Begins  a new cksum context. Returns a token ID that must be used for the remaining functions.
              An optional seed may be specified if required.

       ::crc::CksumUpdate token data
              Add data to the checksum identified by token. Calling CksumUpdate $token "abcd" is  equivalent
              to calling CksumUpdate $token "ab" followed by CksumUpdate $token "cb". See EXAMPLES.

       ::crc::CksumFinal token
              Returns  the  checksum  value and releases any resources held by this token. Once this command
              completes the token will be invalid. The result is a 32 bit integer value.


EXAMPLES
       % crc::cksum "Hello, World!"
       2609532967



       % crc::cksum -format 0x%X "Hello, World!"
       0x9B8A5027



       % crc::cksum -file cksum.tcl
       1828321145



       % set tok [crc::CksumInit]
       % crc::CksumUpdate $tok "Hello, "
       % crc::CksumUpdate $tok "World!"
       % crc::CksumFinal $tok
