NAME

       brecsum - Generate SHA1 sums of raw Blackberry database records.

SYNOPSIS

       brecsum [-d db][-h][-p pin][-P pass][-v]

DESCRIPTION

       brecsum  downloads  the  specified  database(s)  and  computes  a  SHA1
       checksum on each raw record it finds.  The SHA1  sums  are  written  to
       stdout.

       This  is  mainly  useful  for  verifying the integrity of restored data
       during testing.

OPTIONS

       -d db  Specify the database to download and sum.  This  option  may  be
              given  multiple  times  to  fetch  more  than one database.  See
              btool’s -t option to  retrieve  a  list  of  databases  on  your
              device.

       -p pin Specify  the PIN of the device to talk to.  Only needed if there
              are multiple Blackberries plugged into your system at once.

       -P pass
              Simplistic  method  to  specify  device  password.   In  a  real
              application, this would be done using a more secure prompt.

       -v     Dump verbose protocol data during operation.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

RETURN STATUS

       In  the  event of a fatal error, the message will be written to stderr,
       with an error code of 1.
