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 stor‐
       age.  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.

SEE ALSO
       Archive::Zip(3pm).

AUTHOR
       The Archive::Zip module was written by Ned Konz.
