28.Dt CKDIST 1
29.Os
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
44.Dq checksum
45files (which are assumed to specify components
46of a software distribution) and verifies the integrity of the
47distribution by validating the checksum of each component file.
48Both MD5 (128-bit
49.Dq "message digest" )
50and
51.Pa .inf
52(32-bit CRC) checksum
53formats are supported.
54.Pp
55The
56.Ar file
57operands may refer to regular files or to directories.
58Regular files
59named
60.Pa md5 ,
61or which have an
62.Pa .md5
63or an
64.Pa .inf
65extension, are
66assumed to be of the implied type, otherwise format is determined from
67content.
68If a directory is specified, it is searched for
69appropriately-named files only.
70.Pp
71The options are as follows:
72.\"Bl -tag -width ".Fl n Ar name"
73.Bl -tag -width 8n -offset indent
74.It Fl a
75Report on all distribution components, not just those in respect of
76which errors are detected.
77.It Fl i
78Ignore missing distribution components.
79.It Fl r
80Search specified directories recursively.
81.It Fl s
82Suppress complaints about inaccessible checksum files and directories.
83.It Fl x
84Verify the existence of distribution components (and also check sizes,
85in the case of
86.Pa .inf
87files), but omit the more time-consuming step of
88actually computing and comparing checksums.
89.It Fl d Ar dir
90Look for distribution components in the directory
91.Ar dir .
92.It Fl n Ar name
93Access distribution components using the filename
94.Ar name .
95When accessing
96.Pa .inf
97file components, append the appropriate
98extension to the filename.
99.It Fl t Ar type
100Assume that all specified checksum files are of the format
101.Ar type ,
102and search directories only for files in this format (where
103.Ar type
104is either
105.Cm md5
106or
107.Cm inf ) .
108.El
109.Sh EXIT STATUS
110The
111.Nm
112utility exits with one of the following values:
113.Bl -tag -width indent
114.It 0
115No errors were detected.
116.It 1
117Errors were found in a distribution.
118.It 2
119Usage errors, inaccessible input files, or
120other system errors were encountered.
