cksum - Print CRC and size for each file

cksum [-a|--algorithm] [--untagged] [--tag] [-l|--length] [--raw] [--strict] [-c|--check] [--base64] [-w|--warn] [--status] [--quiet] [--ignore-missing] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [file]

Print CRC and size for each file

select the digest type to use. See DIGEST below

[possible values: sysv, bsd, crc, md5, sha1, sha3, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, blake2b, blake3, sm3, shake128, shake256]

create a reversed style checksum, without digest type
create a BSD style checksum, undo --untagged (default)
digest length in bits; must not exceed the max for the blake2 algorithm and must be a multiple of 8
emit a raw binary digest, not hexadecimal
exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
read hashsums from the FILEs and check them
emit a base64 digest, not hexadecimal
warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
don't output anything, status code shows success
don't print OK for each successfully verified file
don't fail or report status for missing files
Print help
Print version

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)
