+ checksum csumtype path
+
+This call computes the MD5, SHAx or CRC checksum of the
+file named C<path>.
+
+The type of checksum to compute is given by the C<csumtype>
+parameter which must have one of the following values:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<crc>
+
+Compute the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) specified by POSIX
+for the C<cksum> command.
+
+=item C<md5>
+
+Compute the MD5 hash (using the C<md5sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha1>
+
+Compute the SHA1 hash (using the C<sha1sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha224>
+
+Compute the SHA224 hash (using the C<sha224sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha256>
+
+Compute the SHA256 hash (using the C<sha256sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha384>
+
+Compute the SHA384 hash (using the C<sha384sum> program).
+
+=item C<sha512>
+
+Compute the SHA512 hash (using the C<sha512sum> program).
+
+=back
+
+The checksum is returned as a printable string.
