Calculate BSD checksums
Calculate a BSD-style checksum from text. The algorithm rotates a 16-bit sum and adds each byte.
BSD checksum values mainly matter when matching old Unix sum behavior or legacy documentation. For newer file integrity checks, a named CRC or cryptographic hash is usually specified.
Hex output
The calculator displays the 16-bit result as 4 hexadecimal characters. Some command-line tools display BSD sums in decimal, so convert the base before comparing.
