I have losts of (not necessarily all) text files (say in the 10 of thousands) in various directories which I need to process in a batch, but before I do that I want to make sure that I get a baseline of the source files. I use: a) crc b) md5sum c) sha###sum because those are three different checksum utilities based on different algorithms which work fast enough and offer a set signatures which are good enough. My thinking may (once again) be a bit unhinged, but I would use, e.g., crc because it internatlly used by rsync, which I also use in my code. So, how do you think I can improve my baselining of the source files? L
