Hi,
I'm using the xrdcp client v4.2.3. According to the man page, the legacy checksum options are "equivalent" to using --cksum:

--adler
            equivalent to "--cksum adler32:print".
[...]
-md5
            equivalent to "--cksum md5:print".

(minor aside: note that the man page has a typo, the CLI accepts -adler not --adler)

However, this is not true. I try to use --cksum with the --recursive option, I get the following result:

xrdcp -p --cksum adler32:print --recursive some_directory root://my-server//some/other/directory/
xrdcp: Checksum with fixed value conflicts with '--recursive'.

whereas the following works, in that the checksum is printed after each file, even though it is running in recursive mode:

xrdcp -p -adler --recursive some_directory root://my-server//some/other/directory/
[[ ... its working! ]]

I'm thinking that maybe in the first case the error is falsely triggering on --cksum and assuming there is a "fixed value", even though :print was specified?
