10

DESCRIPTION

12       This command computes a message digest for one or more specified files.
13       If no files are specified, then stdin can be used.   Any  digest  algo‐
14       rithm  available in libusecure may be selected and used.  Entire direc‐
15       tory trees may also be examined and computed using the -R (--recursive)
16       option.
17

OPTIONS

19       --digest=name
20              Specify  name of digest algorithm.  By default md5 will be used,
21              unless the command is executed through a symlink  which  happens
22              to match an algorithm name.
23
24       --follow
25              Dereference and follow symlinks.  Otherwise they are ignored.
26
27       --recursive
28              If  argument  is a directory, recursively scan directory and any
29              subdirectory contents as arguments.
