This will probably need to go away again someday when distributions get folded into packages and there are no more dist files to check, but knowing how long we've been waiting on THAT, this will be a welcome tool for the interim. Submitted by: Robert Nordier <rnordier@iafrica.com>

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm ckdist
|
|
.Bq Fl airsx
|
|
.Bq Fl d Ar dir
|
|
.Bq Fl n Ar name
|
|
.Bq Fl t Ar type
|

.Ar file ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ckdist
|
|
utility reads "checksum" files (which are assumed to specify components
|
|
of a software distribution) and verifies the integrity of the
|
|
distribution by validating the checksum of each component file.
|
|
Both MD5 (128-bit "message digest") and .inf (32-bit CRC) checksum
|
|
formats are supported.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
operands may refer to regular files or to directories. Regular files
|
|
named "md5", or which have an ".md5" or an ".inf" extension, are
|
|
assumed to be of the implied type, otherwise format is determined from
|
|
content. If a directory is specified, it is searched for
|
|
appropriately-named files only.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 8n -offset indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Report on all distribution components, not just those in respect of
|
|
which errors are detected.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Ignore missing distribution components.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Search specified directories recursively.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Suppress complaints about inaccessible checksum files and directories.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Verify the existence of distribution components (and also check sizes,
|
|
in the case of .inf files), but omit the more time-consuming step of
|
|
actually computing and comparing checksums.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar dir
|
|
Look for distribution components in the directory
|
|
.Ar dir .
|
|
.It Fl n Ar name
|
|
Access distribution components using the filename
|
|
.Ar name .
|
|
(When accessing .inf file components, append the appropriate
|
|
extension to the filename.)
|
|
.It Fl t Ar type
|
|
Assume that all specified checksum files are of the format
|
|
.Ar type ,
|
|
and search directories only for files in this format (where
|
|
.Ar type
|
|
is either "md5" or "inf").
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
cksum(1), md5(1)
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Exit status is 0 if no errors were detected, 1 if errors were found in
|
|
a distribution, and 2 if usage errors, inaccessible input files, or
|
|
other system errors were encountered.
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
Both BSD and DOS versions of
|
|
.Nm ckdist
|
|
are available.
