NAME

       brecsum - Generate SHA1 sums of raw Blackberry database records.

SYNOPSIS

       brecsum [-d db][-h][-p pin][-P pass][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       brecsum  downloads  the  specified  database(s) and computes a SHA1 checksum on each raw record it finds.
       The SHA1 sums are written to stdout.

       This is mainly useful for verifying the integrity of restored data during testing.

OPTIONS

       -d db  Specify the database to download and sum.  This option may be given multiple times to  fetch  more
              than one database.  See btool's -t option to retrieve a list of databases on your device.

       -i     Include DB Name, Type, and Unique record IDs in the checksums.

       -p pin Specify  the PIN of the device to talk to.  Only needed if there are multiple Blackberries plugged
              into your system at once.

       -P pass
              Simplistic method to specify device password.  In a real application, this would be done  using  a
              more secure prompt.

       -v     Dump verbose protocol data during operation.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

RETURN STATUS

       In the event of a fatal error, the message will be written to stderr, with an error code of 1.
