cksum
is lagging behindhashsum
and needs to be updated. One way to do with would be to share functions between the two, but I didn't want to do that, because I do not like many aspects of the currenthashsum
implementation. So instead I wantcksum
to be the base of all thecksum
-like utilities. But because that's a lot of work I'll take some slow steps first.It's a draft because I need to add some tests.
