+=head2 checksum
+
+ 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.

C<value> can be NULL.
+=head2 download
+
+ download remotefilename (filename|-)
+
+Download file C<remotefilename> and save it as C<filename>
+on the local machine.
+
+C<filename> can also be a named pipe.
+
+See also C<upload>, C<cat>.
+
+Use C<-> instead of a filename to read/write from stdin/stdout.

+
+ upload (filename|-) remotefilename
+
+Upload local file C<filename> to C<remotefilename> on the
+filesystem.
+
+C<filename> can also be a named pipe.
+
+See also C<download>.
+
+Use C<-> instead of a filename to read/write from stdin/stdout.
