30.Sh NAME
31.Nm ckdist
32.Nd check software distributions
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Bq Fl airsx
36.Bq Fl d Ar dir
37.Bq Fl n Ar name
38.Bq Fl t Ar type
39.Ar
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Nm
43utility reads "checksum" files (which are assumed to specify components
44of a software distribution) and verifies the integrity of the
45distribution by validating the checksum of each component file.
46Both MD5 (128-bit "message digest") and .inf (32-bit CRC) checksum
47formats are supported.
48.Pp
49The
50.Ar file
51operands may refer to regular files or to directories.
52Regular files
53named "md5", or which have an ".md5" or an ".inf" extension, are
54assumed to be of the implied type, otherwise format is determined from
55content.
56If a directory is specified, it is searched for
57appropriately-named files only.
58.Pp
59Options are as follows:
60.Bl -tag -width 8n -offset indent
61.It Fl a
62Report on all distribution components, not just those in respect of
63which errors are detected.
64.It Fl i
65Ignore missing distribution components.
66.It Fl r
67Search specified directories recursively.
68.It Fl s
69Suppress complaints about inaccessible checksum files and directories.
70.It Fl x
71Verify the existence of distribution components (and also check sizes,
72in the case of .inf files), but omit the more time-consuming step of
73actually computing and comparing checksums.
74.It Fl d Ar dir
75Look for distribution components in the directory
76.Ar dir .
77.It Fl n Ar name
78Access distribution components using the filename
79.Ar name .
80When accessing .inf file components, append the appropriate
81extension to the filename.
82.It Fl t Ar type
83Assume that all specified checksum files are of the format
84.Ar type ,
85and search directories only for files in this format (where
86.Ar type
87is either "md5" or "inf").
88.El
89.Sh EXIT STATUS
90Exit status is 0 if no errors were detected, 1 if errors were found in
91a distribution, and 2 if usage errors, inaccessible input files, or
92other system errors were encountered.
