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