6 sha512sum - compute and check SHA512 message digest
7
9 sha512sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
10
12 Print or check SHA512 (512-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE
13 is -, read standard input.
14
15 -b, --binary
16 read in binary mode
17
18 -c, --check
19 read SHA512 sums from the FILEs and check them
20
21 -t, --text
22 read in text mode (default)
23

28 --quiet
29 don't print OK for each successfully verified file
30
31 --status
32 don't output anything, status code shows success
33
34 -w, --warn
35 warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
36
37 --help display this help and exit
38
39 --version
40 output version information and exit
41
42 The sums are computed as described in FIPS-180-2. When checking, the
43 input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is
44 to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for
45 binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE.
