💅 qcalcfilehash — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is qcalcfilehash(1), aka the graphical utility for computing hash sums 🧮✨. Yes it's a GUI app. Yes it also works in your terminal. Both things are true, we contain multitudes 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

QCalcFileHash — graphical utility for computing hash sums

like. it hashes your files. graphically. and also not graphically. iconic behavior honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

qcalcfilehash [options] filename hash

that's the whole vibe check right there — you give it options, a filename, and a hash, and it does its thing 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

QCalcFileHash is a graphical utility for calculation and verification of a wide range of hash sums, and the range is genuinely wide bestie, look at this lineup:

  • SHA1
  • SHA-224
  • SHA-256
  • SHA-384
  • SHA-512
  • MD5
  • CRC32
  • CRC8

eight algorithms. eight. the way it just has all of them 😭💜

and the plot twist that makes it even better — it can be used on the command line as well. so if you're a terminal girlie who also wants a pretty window sometimes, this is literally your moment. no cap 🌈

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • -h, --help — Displays help on commandline options. (the classic. the moment you forget a flag, this is your bestie fr fr)
  • --help-all — Displays help including Qt specific options. (yes it's a Qt app, and yes it's gonna tell you about Qt stuff too 🫶)
  • -v, --version — Displays version information. (for when you need to know which version of slay you're running 💅)
  • --compare <hash> — hash comparison. (you hand it a hash, it compares. verification arc unlocked 🔍)
  • -p — Show progress. (so you're not just staring at nothing wondering if it's alive 😭 the bar moves. we love a bar that moves.)
  • -l, --list — Show list all hash algorithm. (all of them!! the full roster!! go look!! ⭐)

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • filename — Source file to hash. (the file. the one getting hashed. your main character file 👑)
  • hash — Hash algorithm. (which one of the eight you're feeling today. pick your fighter 🌈)

and that's the whole page babes 💜 this was qcalcfilehash-1.1.1, dated 19 Dec 2022 — so like, a lil vintage, but it still ate. go hash something. go verify something. go run --list and admire the algorithm lineup. mwah 💋✨
