NAME

       icepatch2calc - IcePatch2 tool to compress files and calculate checksums.

SYNOPSIS

       icepatch2calc [options] data_dir [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       IcePatch2  tool  to  compress  files  and  calculate  checksums.  Full documentation for icepatch2calc is
       available online at:
       https://doc.zeroc.com/display/Ice37/Using+icepatch2calc

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Displays a help message.

       -v, --version
              Displays the Ice version.

       -z, --compress
              Normally, icepatch2calc scans the data directory and compresses  a  file  only  if  no  compressed
              version  exists, or if the compressed version of a file has a modification time that predates that
              of the uncompressed version. If you specify -z, the tool re-scans and recompresses the entire data
              directory, regardless of the time stamps on files. This option is useful if you suspect that  time
              stamps in the data directory may be incorrect.

       -Z, --no-compress
              This option allows you to create a client-side checksum file. Do not use this option when creating
              the checksum file for the server — the option is for creating a client-side IcePatch2.sum file for
              updates of software on distribution media.

       -i, --case-insensitive
              This  option  disallows  file names that differ only in case. (An error message will be printed if
              icepatch2calc encounters any files that differ in case only.) This is particularly useful for Unix
              servers with Windows clients, since Windows folds the case of file names, and therefore such files
              would override each other on the Windows client.

       -V, --verbose
              This option prints a progress message for each file that is compressed and for each checksum  that
              is computed.
