Desired Action: Delete line 74286 on page 2307 which lists "sum : Print checksum and block or byte count of a file" from the list of utilities in support of files of arbitrary sizes.
On page 3614, remove references to the sum utility: in particular, change "The cat, cksum, cmp, cp, dd, mv, sum, and touch utilities" to "The cat, cksum, cmp, cp, dd, mv, and touch utilities" on line 124855, and change "The cat, cksum, cmp, dd, df, du, ls, and sum utilities" to "The cat, cksum, cmp, dd, df, du, and ls utilities" on line 124857. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2022-03-12 19:38 cmsmith New Issue 2022-03-12 19:38 cmsmith Name => Curtis Smith 2022-03-12 19:38 cmsmith Section => 1.5 Considerations for Utilities in Support of Files of Arbitrary Size 2022-03-12 19:38 cmsmith Page Number => 2307 2022-03-12 19:38 cmsmith Line Number => 74286 ======================================================================
