.SH NAME
sum \- print checksum and block count for a file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/usr/bin/sum\fR [-abBchHlLpPrRstTw] [-x method] [\fIfile\fR...]
.fi

.SS "ksh93"

.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBsum\fR utility and ksh93 built-in command list the checksum, and for
most methods the block count, for each file argument. The standard input is
read if there are no file arguments.
.sp
.LP
The \fBgetconf\fR(1) \fBUNIVERSE\fR determines the default sum method: att for
the att universe, bsd otherwise. The default for the other commands is the
command name itself. The att method is a true sum, all others are order
dependent.
.sp
.LP
Method names consist of a leading identifier and 0 or more options separated by
-.
.sp
.LP
\fBgetconf\fR \fBPATH_RESOLVE\fR determines how symbolic links are handled.
This can be explicitly overridden by the \fB--logical\fR, \fB--metaphysical\fR,
and \fB--physical\fR options below. \fBPATH_RESOLVE\fR can be one of:
.sp
.ne 2

\fB\fB--logical\fR\fR

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk

.RE

.sp
.ne 2

\fB\fB--physical\fR\fR

Block count scale (bytes per block) override for methods that include size in
the output. The default is method-specific.

\fB\fB-c\fR\fR
.ad

\fB\fB--check\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Each file is interpreted as the output from a previous sum. If \fB--header\fR
or \fB--permissions\fR was specified in the previous sum then the checksum
method is automatically determined, otherwise \fB--method\fR must be specified.
The listed checksum is compared with the current value and a warning is issued
for each file that does not match. If file was generated by
\fB--permissions\fR, then the file mode, user and group are also checked. Empty
lines, lines starting with #<space>, or the line # are ignored. Lines
containing no blanks are interpreted as [no]name[=\fIvalue\fR] options:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBmethod=name\fR\fR

Checksum method to apply to subsequent lines.
.RE

.RS 4n
If \fB--check\fR is not specified then list the file mode, user and group
between the checksum and path. User and group matching the caller are output as
-. If \fB--check\fR is specified then the mode, user and group for each path in
file are updated if necessary to match those in file. A warning is printed on
the standard error for each changed file.

List only the total checksum and block count of all files. \fB--all\fR
\fB--total\fR lists each checksum and the total. The total checksum and block
count may be different from the checksum and block count of the catenation of
all files due to partial blocks that may occur when the files are treated
separately.
