SHA384SUM(1)

✨ SHA384SUM — bestie edition ✨

okay so picture this: it's a sha384sum(1) situation, manual, General Commands Manual vibes, and I am so hyped to explain it to you. no cap. 💖

💅 NAME

sha384sum — print or check the SHA384 checksums 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS

sha384sum [OPTIONS] [FILE]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION

Print or check the SHA384 checksums. that's it, that's the whole gig, and honestly? iconic. ✨

👑 OPTIONS

• -c, --check — read checksums from the *FILE*s and check them. verification mode, we love her 💅
• -w, --warn — warn about improperly formatted checksum lines. she will absolutely say something 🙈
• --status — don't output anything, status code shows success. silent but the exit code is doing all the talking 💀
• --quiet — don't print OK for each successfully verified file. no little victory laps, just the tea ☕
• --ignore-missing — don't fail or report status for missing files. if it's not there, we simply are not perceiving it 🫶
• --strict — exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines. no sloppy formatting on her watch, periodt 🚫
• --tag — create a BSD style checksum. a little costume change, same algorithm 🎀
• -z, --zero — end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable file name escaping. for when newlines are simply not the vibe 🌈
• -h, --help — Print help 🥺
• -V, --version — Print version ⭐

🌟 VERSION

v(uutils coreutils) 0.12.0

🍓 EXAMPLES

Calculate the SHA384 checksum for one or more files:

sha384sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...

Calculate and save the list of SHA384 checksums to a file:

sha384sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ... > path/to/file.sha384

Calculate a SHA384 checksum from stdin:

command | sha384sum

Read a file of SHA384 checksums and filenames and verify all files have matching checksums:

sha384sum [-c|--check] path/to/file.sha384

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

sha384sum [-c|--check] --quiet path/to/file.sha384

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

sha384sum --ignore-missing [-c|--check] --quiet path/to/file.sha384

Check a known SHA384 checksum of a file:

echo known_sha384_checksum_of_the_file path/to/file | sha384sum
[-c|--check]
