CKSUM(1) User Commands CKSUM(1)
cksum - compute and verify file checksums
cksum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print or verify checksums. By default use the 32 bit CRC
algorithm.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short
options too.
-a, --algorithm=TYPE
select the digest type to use. See DIGEST below.
--base64
emit base64-encoded digests, not hexadecimal
-c, --check
read checksums from the FILEs and check them
-l, --length=BITS
digest length in bits; must not exceed the max for the
blake2 algorithm and must be a multiple of 8
--raw emit a raw binary digest, not hexadecimal
--tag create a BSD-style checksum (the default)
--untagged
create a reversed style checksum, without digest type
-z, --zero
end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable
file name escaping
The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
--ignore-missing
don't fail or report status for missing files
--quiet
don't print OK for each successfully verified file
--status
don't output anything, status code shows success
--strict
exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
-w, --warn
warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
--debug
indicate which implementation used
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
DIGEST determines the digest algorithm and default output format:
sysv (equivalent to sum -s)
bsd (equivalent to sum -r)
crc (equivalent to cksum)
md5 (equivalent to md5sum)
sha1 (equivalent to sha1sum)
sha224 (equivalent to sha224sum)
sha256 (equivalent to sha256sum)
sha384 (equivalent to sha384sum)
sha512 (equivalent to sha512sum)
blake2b
(equivalent to b2sum)
sm3 (only available through cksum)
When checking, the input should be a former output of this
program, or equivalent standalone program.
