The new ctfchk Checksum utility is a standalone c-treeACE utility that reads active records from a fixed-length c-treeACE data file in physical order and outputs a checksum and active record count. It uses the CRC-32 algorithm to compute the checksum. This utility can be used to compare the record contents of two fixed length data files. However, two c-treeACE data files that contain the same active record images in the same order will generate identical checksums. Two c-treeACE data files whose active record contents differ will generate different checksums (subject to the limitations of the CRC-32 algorithm).
