JETRING-CHECKSUM(1)

💖 JETRING-CHECKSUM 💖

okay bestie, so this is one of the jetring commands, section 1 of the manual — the little utility pages. and it's about checksums in a jetring index file. yes, those checksums. the ones you absolutely need. sit down, we're doing this 💅

✨ NAME ✨

jetring-checksum — bestie's whole job is managing checksums in a jetring index file. that's it. that's the gig. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

jetring-checksum [-u] dir

just you, one optional -u, and a directory. iconic.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first things first: this command manages checksums in a jetring index file. default behavior? it goes through every checksum listed in the index file and checks that it matches the checksum of the changeset file over in the jetring directory. matching = good. not matching = we have a situation. 💀

now, if you pass the -u option, it will upgrade the checksums in the index file. and here's the lore: older versions of jetring used sha1 checksums, and while those are still supported, sha256 checksums are now preferred. glow up, fr fr.

and then the manpage just… says this:

to get signed.

that's it. that's the whole sentence. it's giving sentence fragment, it's giving cliffhanger, and no bestie, i'm not gonna invent the rest for you — that's literally all it says. 😭
