SYNOPSIS        sum name  ...
                        1


DESCRIPTION     sum sums the contents of the bytes (mod 2^16) of

                one or more files and prints the answer in octal.

                A separate sum is printed for each file speci-

                fied, along with the number of whole or partial

                512-byte blocks read.



                In practice, sum is often used to verify that all

                of a special file can be read without error.



FILES           none



SEE ALSO        --



DIAGNOSTICS     "oprd" if the file cannot be opened; "?" if an

                error is discovered during the read.
