  This utility is a wrapper for the md5(3), sha1(3), rmd160(3), and
  tiger hash routines.  It is remarkably similar to the digest package,
  except that it can recursively checksum directory trees.

  While a simple checksum on a tar file is usually satisfactory, once
  said archive has been extracted, it is virtually impossible to
  repackage the extracted tree in a form that can yield a repeatable
  checksum.  To be specific, changes in timestamps and ownership, and
  changes in file ordering within directories can affect the checksum of
  the archive, while not really impacting the actual code at all.

  The algorithm used to checksum a directory in this implementation
  is considers only the files' pathnames, the files' types (ie,
  directory vs.  file vs. symbolic link), and their contents (for
  the latter two).  It is described in greater detail in the man
  page.
