Print CRC and size for each file
Usage: cksum [OPTIONS] [FILE]...
Options:
-a, --algorithm <ALGORITHM> select the digest type to use. See DIGEST below [possible values:
sysv, bsd, crc, crc32b, md5, sha1, sha2, sha3, blake2b, sm3, sha224,
sha256, sha384, sha512, blake3, shake128, shake256]
--untagged create a reversed style checksum, without digest type
--tag create a BSD style checksum (default)
-l, --length <length> digest length in bits; must not exceed the max size and must be a
multiple of 8 for blake2b; must be 224, 256, 384, or 512 for sha2 or
sha3
--raw emit a raw binary digest, not hexadecimal
-c, --check read checksums from the FILEs and check them
-w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
--status don't output anything, status code shows success
--quiet don't print OK for each successfully verified file
--ignore-missing don't fail or report status for missing files
--strict exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
--base64 emit base64-encoded digests, not hexadecimal
-z, --zero end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable file name
escaping
--debug print CPU hardware capability detection info used by cksum
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
DIGEST determines the digest algorithm and default output
format:
- sysv: equivalent to sum -s
- bsd: equivalent to sum -r
- crc: equivalent to cksum
- crc32b: only available through cksum
- md5: equivalent to md5sum
- sha1: equivalent to sha1sum
- sha2: equivalent to sha{224,256,384,512}sum
- sha3: only available through cksum
- blake2b: equivalent to b2sum
- sm3: only available through cksum
