## NAME

shasum - Print or Check SHA Checksums

## SYNOPSIS

Usage: shasum [OPTION]... [FILE]... Print or check SHA checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

-a, --algorithm 1 (default), 224, 256, 384, 512, 512224, 512256 -b, --binary read in binary mode -c, --check read SHA sums from the FILEs and check them -t, --text read in text mode (default) -p, --portable read in portable mode produces same digest on Windows/Unix/Mac -0, --01 read in BITS mode ASCII *(Aq0*(Aq interpreted as 0-bit, ASCII *(Aq1*(Aq interpreted as 1-bit, all other characters ignored

The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums: -s, --status don*(Aqt output anything, status code shows success -w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines

-h, --help display this help and exit -v, --version output version information and exit

When verifying SHA-512/224 or SHA-512/256 checksums, indicate the algorithm explicitly using the -a option, e.g.

shasum -a 512224 -c checksumfile

The sums are computed as described in FIPS PUB 180-4. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`**(Aq for binary, ` *(Aq for text, `?*(Aq for portable, `^*(Aq for BITS), and name for each FILE.

## DESCRIPTION

Running shasum is often the quickest way to compute s-1SHAs0 message digests. The user simply feeds data to the script through files or standard input, and then collects the results from standard output.

The following command shows how to compute digests for typical inputs such as the s-1NISTs0 test vector *(L"abc*(R":

perl -e "print qq(abc)" | shasum

Or, if you want to use s-1SHA-256s0 instead of the default s-1SHA-1,s0 simply say:

perl -e "print qq(abc)" | shasum -a 256

Since shasum mimics the behavior of the combined s-1GNU s0sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, and sha512sum programs, you can install this script as a convenient drop-in replacement.

Unlike the s-1GNUs0 programs, shasum encompasses the full s-1SHAs0 standard by allowing partial-byte inputs. This is accomplished through the s-1BITSs0 option (-0). The following example computes the s-1SHA-224s0 digest of the 7-bit message 0001100:

perl -e "print qq(0001100)" | shasum -0 -a 224
