NAME

6       b2sum - compute and check BLAKE2 message digest
7

SYNOPSIS

9       b2sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
10

DESCRIPTION

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       -z, --zero
32              end each output line with NUL, not  newline,  and  disable  file
33              name escaping
34
35   The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
36       --ignore-missing
37              don't fail or report status for missing files
38
39       --quiet
40              don't print OK for each successfully verified file
41
42       --status
43              don't output anything, status code shows success
44
45       --strict
46              exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
47
48       -w, --warn
49              warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
50
51       --help display this help and exit
52
53       --version
54              output version information and exit
55
56       The  sums  are  computed  as described in RFC 7693.  When checking, the
57       input should be a former output of this program.  The default  mode  is
58       to  print  a  line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input
59       mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary  is  insignificant),
60       and name for each FILE.
61
62       Note:  There  is no difference between binary mode and text mode on GNU
63       systems.
