PROGRAM NAME

kcksum - check checksums created by kcrsum

DESCRIPTION

kcksum is a Perl script which will check Khoros checksum files for a set of software objects, and see if any files have changed. kcksum is typically used in conjunction with kcksum, kpack, and kunpack, to create Khoros pack files. Khoros pack files are a mechanism for distributing changes to software objects. More information about these tools can be found in Chapter 5 of the SUPPORT toolbox manual, which includes a tutorial on the use of kpack and friends.

The simplest way to use kcksum is when checking the checksum file for a single software object. If banana is a kroutine object in the FRUIT toolbox, then the following command will create a checksum file for banana:

% kcksum -tb fruit -oname banana

This will print out a list of files in the software object which have changed since the object's checksum files were created with kcrsum.

If no object name is given, then checksum files will be checked for all software objects in the selected toolbox:

% kcksum -tb fruit

And if no toolbox is given, then checksum files will be checked for all objects in all available toolboxes.
