sha3sum(1)

💖 sha3sum — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to sha3sum(1), a General Commands Manual page, and honestly? it's giving "short and powerful." it computes message digests. it checks message digests. that's the whole personality and we're obsessed. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

sha3sum — compute and check message digests. no cap, that's it, that's the job. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sha3sum [-b|--binary] [-c|--check] [--tag] [-t|--text] [-q|--quiet]
[-s|--status] [--strict] [--ignore-missing] [-w|--warn] [-z|--zero]
[--bits] [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [file]

like, look at her. so many flags. so much main character energy. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Compute and check message digests. 🎀

that's literally the entire description and you know what? she said what she said. no notes. 🌸

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay this is the part you actually came for, bestie. buckle up. 💖

• -b, --binary — read in binary mode. 🫶
• -c, --check — read hashsums from the *FILE*s and check them. like, it goes and verifies stuff for you, iconic.
• --tag — create a BSD-style checksum. fancy little tag moment. ✨
• -t, --text — read in text mode (this one's the default, so if you don't say anything, this is what you get). 💅
• -q, --quiet — don't print OK for each successfully verified file. she's humble, she's not gonna brag about every single success. 🙈
• -s, --status — don't output anything at all; the status code shows success. silent but the receipts live in the exit code. 💀
• --strict — exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines. she's a strict queen and she will absolutely fail you if you format wrong. 😭
• --ignore-missing — don't fail or report status for missing files. the file ghosted? okay, we move on, no drama. 🧚
• -w, --warn — warn about improperly formatted checksum lines. she's not strict here, just gonna gently tell you. ⭐
• -z, --zero — end each output line with NUL, not newline. for the script girlies who need it. 🔥
• --bits <BITS> — set the size of the output (only for SHAKE, so don't try it anywhere else, iykyk). 🌈
• -h, --help — print help. your friend when you're lost. 💜
• -V, --version — print version. 🍓
• [file] — the file, bestie. the one you're pointing at. 🌸
