3 crc32 \- compute CRC-32 checksums for the given files
6 \fIfilename\fP [ \fIfilename\fP ... ]
8 \fBcrc32\fP is a simple utility that calculates the CRC-32 checksum for
9 each of the given files.
11 Note that the CRC-32 checksum is merely used for error detection in
12 transmission and storage. It is not intended to guard against the
13 malicious modification of files (i.e., it is not a cryptographic hash).
15 This utility is supplied with the \fBArchive::Zip\fP module for Perl.
17 .BR Archive::Zip (3pm).
19 The Archive::Zip module was written by Ned Konz.
