====================================================================== sha256 - calculate SHA-256 message digest (by Thoronador) ====================================================================== Purpose of the programme: ========================= The sha256 programme calculates and prints SHA-256 (256bit) checksums of all files that are passed to it as command line parameters. As of version 1.1 it can also be used to calculate SHA-1 (160bit) checksums, if desired. Programme call: =============== Since this (obviously) is a command line programme, you can call it via command line/ shell. A list of valid options follows below. Synopsis: --------- sha256 [--sha1 | --sha256] FILENAME ... Options + parameters: --------------------- --sha1 Calculate SHA-1 (160bit) checksums instead of SHA-256. --sha256 Calculate SHA-256 (256bit) checksums. This is the default. --help Show a help message and list valid programme options. --version Print version information and quit. FILENAME path to a file that should be hashed. Can be repeated multiple times. A typical call could look like: sha256 foo.txt some_dir/bar.baz This would calculate the SHA-256 message digests of foo.txt and bar.baz in the subdirectory some_dir. If one of the given files does not exist, the programme quits.
