https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D280670 Bug ID: 280670 Summary: Feature request: add crc32 support to md5(1) Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jhb@FreeBSD.org The base system does not readily provide an easy way to compute CRC32 check= sums of files or other input. The md5(1) utility already supports several diffe= rent algorithms, and CRC32 support could be added by defining a new Algorithm cl= ass making use of <sys/gsb_crc32c.h> and the relevant file from sys/libkern. Note that while sum(1) and cksum(1) do exist, they are not as convenient to= use (e.g. they do not output the checksum in hex). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
