NAME
b2sum - compute and check BLAKE2 message digest
SYNOPSIS
b2sum
[,OPTION/]... [,FILE/]...
DESCRIPTION
Print or check BLAKE2 (512-bit) checksums.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
- -b, --binary
-
read in binary mode
- -c, --check
-
read BLAKE2 sums from the FILEs and check them
- -l, --length
-
digest length in bits; must not exceed the maximum for
the blake2 algorithm and must be a multiple of 8
- --tag
-
create a BSD-style checksum
- -t, --text
-
read in text mode (default)
- -z, --zero
-
end each output line with NUL, not newline,
and disable file name escaping
The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
- --ignore-missing
-
don't fail or report status for missing files
- --quiet
-
don't print OK for each successfully verified file
- --status
-
don't output anything, status code shows success
- --strict
-
exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
- -w, --warn
-
warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
- --help
-
display this help and exit
- --version
-
output version information and exit
The sums are computed as described in RFC 7693. When checking, the input
should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a
line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary,
' ' for text or where binary is insignificant), and name for each FILE.
