It depends on what alorithm you are using (CRC is common one, but MD-5 is another option). It would also depend on even/odd parity.

By default there is no such code or command. You have to use an external libary, script, program to calculate 8-bit Checksums. Altough you can produce 32-bit checksums with the cksum command.
