Imagine you did find an executable called crc32. What would you do with it? You find some data that's in an archive file called foo.zap. The program zap claims to include a crc32 check within the archive. Do you expect to type crc32 --check foo.zap and get some meaningful output, or what?

You can't. That's not what CRCs are for. They're not cryptographic, so they are useless for any type of assurance that the data is intact. Anyone modifying the data merely has to recalculate a new CRC and substitute is for the original. CRCs are a quick check on data segments when you're transmitting segments of a file. If a CRC doesn't agree with its segment, you ask for its retransmission. At the end of the transfer, you might do a final CRC check on the whole file, for speed, but it would be pointless to keep the number, as compared with checking the file's MD5/SHAnnn digest if that had been archived. That's why md5sum and shaNNNsum have a -c option. Cheers, David.
