Hello.

Your rhash program is very useful, THANK YOU.

I think I can suggest some improvements, I hope you will consider them:

Add the options that do exist in the manual to the help section: --follow ; --accept ; --exclude ...etc
Missing hashes: SHAKE128, SHAKE256
Perhaps the following hashes are missing: SHA512/256 and SHA512/224 (https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/hash/sha512.html)
There is no option to exclude certain paths by name/pattern in case of recursion.
An option is missing to exclude certain UIDs (User Identifiers) in case of recursion.
An option -n --simulation is missing (show the files it processes but do not calculate the hash; in addition to being a test, this allows the output to be used as a new input list, after filtering by the user).
There is no option to show the full path of the file in the output.
There is no option to show the basename of the file in any of the bases: base32/base58(BTC)/base62/base64/base85 in the output.

Thank you for reading. Best regards.
