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.
−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
−−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
−−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
