Name
       sum - print object file's checksum

Syntax
       sum file...

Description
       The command calculates and prints a 16-bit checksum for the named file,
       and also prints the number of blocks in the file.  It is typically used
       to  look	 for  bad  spots, or to validate a file communicated over some
       transmission line.

Diagnostics
       `Read error' is indistinguishable from end of  file  on	most  devices;
       check the block count.
