💖 NaCl(1) — the general commands manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading a General Commands Manual page together and it's lowkey iconic. this is NaCl(1) and it's giving "short but mighty". 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

nacl-sha512 — a program to calculate the sha512 hash 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

nacl-sha512

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, no drama. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents the nacl-sha512 command, but only briefly — it's a lil snack, not a full meal, and it says so itself. 🙈

here's the tea tho: this page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program doesn't have a manual page at all. instead, the original has documentation in the GNU. so Debian said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and honestly? slay. 👑

and what is nacl-sha512? it's a program that uses NaCl to calculate the sha512 hash. that's the whole plot. no cap. ⭐

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so the "options" section is a lil bit of a misdirect because — plot twist — this program doesn't really do options. it expects input on standard input and prints the sha512 hash on standard output. that's the deal. 📥➡️📤

so like, pipe something into it and it hands you back a hash. it's giving "one job, done well". 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • nacl-sha256 (1).

(the sibling! the other hash bestie! go read that page too, iykyk 💜)

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 that was NaCl(1) from the General Commands Manual — yes, the footer really is just NaCl(1) and that's all the version/date energy we got, so we're honoring it exactly as written. no extra lore, fr fr. 💖 stay hashing, stay hydrated, periodt. 🧚
