NAME

       crc32 - compute CRC-32 checksums for the given files

SYNOPSIS

       crc32 filename [ filename ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       crc32 is a simple utility that calculates the CRC-32 checksum for each of the given files.

       Note  that the CRC-32 checksum is merely used for error detection in transmission and storage.  It is not
       intended to guard against the malicious modification of files (i.e., it is not a cryptographic hash).

       This utility is supplied with the Archive::Zip module for Perl.
