4
6 b2sum - compute and check BLAKE2 message digest
7
9 b2sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
10
12 Print or check BLAKE2 (512-bit) checksums.
13
14 With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
15
16 -b, --binary
17 read in binary mode
18
19 -c, --check
20 read BLAKE2 sums from the FILEs and check them
21
22 -l, --length
23 digest length in bits; must not exceed the maximum for the
24 blake2 algorithm and must be a multiple of 8
25
26 --tag create a BSD-style checksum
27
28 -t, --text
29 read in text mode (default)
30
31 Note: There is no difference between binary and text mode option
32 on GNU system. -z, --zero end each output line with
33 NUL, not newline,
34
35 and disable file name escaping
36
37 The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
38 --ignore-missing
39 don't fail or report status for missing files
40
41 --quiet
42 don't print OK for each successfully verified file
43
44 --status
45 don't output anything, status code shows success
46
47 --strict
48 exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
49
50 -w, --warn
51 warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
52
53 --help display this help and exit
54
55 --version
56 output version information and exit
57
58 The sums are computed as described in RFC 7693. When checking, the
59 input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is
60 to print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input
61 mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant),
62 and name for each FILE.
