💖 SHA224SUM(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a manual page from General Commands Manual and it's all about sha224sum, and honestly? it's giving checksum royalty. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

sha224sum — Print or check the SHA224 checksums 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sha224sum [OPTIONS] [FILE]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Print or check the SHA224 checksums. that's it, that's the vibe. it either makes checksums for you or it looks at checksums you already have and is like "yeah bestie that checks out" or "no bc that's wrong". 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -c, --check — read checksums from the *FILE*s and check them 🧐
  • -w, --warn — warn about improperly formatted checksum lines. it's gonna speak up if a line is formatted wrong, periodt 💀
  • --status — don't output anything, status code shows success 🤫 the exit code does the talking, no words needed
  • --quiet — don't print OK for each successfully verified file 🙈 like yeah we get it, it worked, moving on
  • --ignore-missing — don't fail or report status for missing files 🫶 if a file isn't there, we simply do not perceive it
  • --strict — exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines 😭 strict bestie energy, no sloppy formatting tolerated
  • --tag — create a BSD style checksum 🌈
  • -z, --zero — end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable file name escaping 🌸 very niche, very iconic
  • -h, --help — Print help ❓
  • -V, --version — Print version 📦

⭐ VERSION ⭐

v(uutils coreutils) 0.12.0 — yeah we're on that version, no cap

🌟 EXAMPLES 🌟

Calculate the SHA224 checksum for one or more files:

sha224sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...

Calculate and save the list of SHA224 checksums to a file:

sha224sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ... > path/to/file.sha224

Calculate a SHA224 checksum from stdin:

command | sha224sum

Read a file of SHA224 checksums and filenames and verify all files have matching checksums:

sha224sum [-c|--check] path/to/file.sha224

Only show a message for missing files or when verification fails:

sha224sum [-c|--check] --quiet path/to/file.sha224

Only show a message when verification fails, ignoring missing files:

sha224sum --ignore-missing [-c|--check] --quiet path/to/file.sha224

Check a known SHA224 checksum of a file:

echo known_sha224_checksum_of_the_file path/to/file | sha224sum
[-c|--check]

so yeah, that's the whole page, you're literally a SHA224 expert now bestie, main character energy fr fr ✨💖

this roundup came to you from the 2026-09-25 era, sha224sum living inside v(uutils coreutils) 0.12.0 — stay slay, go verify something, mwah 🎀🦋💜
