sumdir(1)                                               sumdir(1)



     NAME
          sumdir - sum and count characters in the files in the  given
          directories

     SYNOPSIS
          sumdir [directories]

     DESCRIPTION
          sumdir provides a recursive checksum of all files in the
          specified directory.  It calculates and prints a 16-bit
          checksum for the named file, and also prints the number of
          characters in the file. It is typically used to look for bad
          spots on the file system, or to validate a file transmitted
          over some transmission line.  The output from this program
          differs from the output from the sum(1) program in that sum-
          dir prints the number of characters rather than the number
          of blocks in the file.

     EXAMPLES
               sumdir man1

          produces the checksum and the character count of the files
          in the directory man1.

     FILES
          /usr/bin/sumdir
