sha256sum — compute and check SHA256 message digest
sha256sum [OPTION] [FILE...]
Print or check SHA256 (256−bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is −, read standard input.
−b, −−binaryread in binary mode
−c, −−checkread SHA256 sums from the FILEs and check them
−t, −−textread in text mode (default)
−−statusdon't output anything, status code shows success
−w, −−warnwarn about improperly formatted checksum lines
−−helpdisplay this help and exit
−−versionoutput version information and exit
The sums are computed as described in FIPS−180−2. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE.
The full documentation for sha256sum is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and sha256sum programs are properly installed at your site, the command
info sha256sum
should give you access to the complete manual.
