2
3
4
6 sha512sum - compute and check SHA512 message digest
7
9 sha512sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
10
12 Print or check SHA512 (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 SHA512 sums from the FILEs and check them
21
22 --tag create a BSD-style checksum
23
24 -t, --text
25 read in text mode (default)
26
27 Note: There is no difference between binary and text mode option
28 on GNU system. -z, --zero end each output line with
29 NUL, not newline,
30
31 and disable file name escaping
32
33 The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
34 --ignore-missing
35 don't fail or report status for missing files
36
37 --quiet
38 don't print OK for each successfully verified file
39
40 --status
41 don't output anything, status code shows success
42
43 --strict
44 exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
45
46 -w, --warn
47 warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
48
49 --help display this help and exit
50
51 --version
52 output version information and exit
53
54 The sums are computed as described in FIPS-180-2. When checking, the
55 input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is
56 to print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input
57 mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant),
58 and name for each FILE.
