Generate MD5 Checksum On AIX

I have been looking for a command to generate MD5 checksum values on AIX 4 years ago. There was a need then to get the checksum values to compare if the files were the same. Then, I used the sum command.

Today, I found this command, csum. With this command, you can generate an MD5 or a SHA1 checksum.

The syntax is as below:

csum -h MD5 [filename]

 

Example:

csum -hMD5 .profile
