crc32 - compute CRC-32 checksums for the given files
| Use Case | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 🔍 Compute CRC-32 for one file | crc32 filename | Calculate and display the CRC-32 checksum of a single file |
| 📋 Compute CRC-32 for multiple files | crc32 file1 file2 file3 | Calculate CRC-32 checksums for several files at once |
| 🔁 Verify file integrity | crc32 archive.zip | Get a checksum to compare against a known good value |
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.
