DESCRIPTION The md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, sha512t224, sha512t256, rmd160, skein256, skein512, and skein1024 utilities take as input a message of arbitrary length and produce as output a "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
The md5sum, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum, sha512t224sum, sha512t256sum, rmd160sum, skein256sum, skein512sum, and skein1024sum utilities do the same, but with command-line options and an output format that match those of their similary named GNU utilities.
The shasum utility does the same, but with command-line options and an output format that match those of the similarly named utility that ships with Perl.
It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to produce two messages having the same message digest, or to produce any message having a given prespecified target message digest. The SHA-224 , SHA-256 , SHA-384 , SHA-512, RIPEMD-160, and SKEIN algorithms are intended for digital signature applications, where a large file must be "compressed" in a secure manner before being encrypted with a private (secret) key under a public-key cryptosystem such as RSA.
The MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms have been proven to be vulnerable to practical collision attacks and should not be relied upon to produce unique outputs, nor should they be used as part of a cryptographic signature scheme. As of 2017-03-02, there is no publicly known method to reverse either algorithm, i.e., to find an input that produces a specific output.
SHA-512t256 is a version of SHA-512 truncated to only 256 bits. On 64-bit hardware, this algorithm is approximately 50% faster than SHA-256 but with the same level of security. The hashes are not interchangeable.
SHA-512t224 is identical to SHA-512t256, but with the digest truncated to 224 bits.
-c string, --check=string Compare the digest of the file against this string. If combined with the -q or --quiet option, the calculated digest is printed in addition to the exit status being set. (Note that this option is not yet useful if multiple files are specified.)
-p, --passthrough Echo stdin to stdout and append the checksum to stdout.
-q, --quiet Quiet mode -- only the checksum is printed out. Overrides the -r or --reverse option.
-r, --reverse Reverses the format of the output. This helps with visual diffs. Does nothing when combined with the -ptx options.
-s string, --string=string Print a checksum of the given string.
-t, --time-trial Run a built-in time trial. For the -sum versions, this is a nop for compatibility with coreutils.
-x, --self-test Run a built-in test script.
GNU OPTIONS The following options are available in GNU mode, i.e. when the program is invoked with a name that ends in "sum":
-b, --binary Read files in binary mode.
-c, --check The file passed as arguments must contain digest lines generated by the same digest algorithm in either classical BSD format or in GNU coreutils format. A line with the file name followed by a colon ":" and either OK or FAILED is written for each well-formed line in the digest file. If applicable, the number of failed comparisons and the number of lines that were skipped since they were not well-formed are printed at the end. The --quiet option can be used to quiesce the output unless there are mismatched entries in the digest.
--help Print a usage message and exit.
--ignore-missing When verifying checksums, ignore files for which checksums are given but which aren't found on disk.
--quiet When verifying checksums, do not print anything unless the verification fails.
--status When verifying checksums, do not print anything at all. The exit code will reflect whether verification succeeded.
implementation does not differentiate between binary and text mode.
--version Print version information and exit.
-w, --warn When verifying checksums, warn about malformed input.
-z, --zero Terminate output lines with NUL rather than with newline.
PERL OPTIONS The following options are available in Perl mode, i.e. when the program is invoked with the name "shasum":
-0, --01 Read files in bits mode: ASCII `0' and `1' characters correspond to 0 and 1 bits, respectively, and all other characters are ignored. See BUGS.
-a alg, --algorithm alg Use the specified algorithm: "1" for SHA-1 (default), "xxx" for xxx-bit SHA-2 (e.g. "256" for SHA-256) or "xxxyyy" for xxx-bit SHA-2 truncated to yyy bits (e.g. "512224" for SHA-512/224).
-b, --binary Read files in binary mode.
-c, --check The file passed as arguments must contain digest lines generated by the same digest algorithm in either classical BSD format or in GNU coreutils format. A line with the file name followed by a colon ":" and either OK or FAILED is written for each well-formed line in the digest file. If applicable, the number of failed comparisons and the number of lines that were skipped since they were not well-formed are printed at the end. The --quiet option can be used to quiesce the output unless there are mismatched entries in the digest.
--help Print a usage message and exit.
--ignore-missing When verifying checksums, ignore files for which checksums are given but which aren't found on disk.
--quiet When verifying checksums, do not print anything unless the verification fails.
--status When verifying checksums, do not print anything at all. The exit code will reflect whether verification succeeded.
--strict When verifying checksums, fail if the input is malformed.
--tag Produce BSD-style output.
not followed by LF, is translated to LF before the digest is computed.
--version Print version information and exit.
-w, --warn When verifying checksums, warn about malformed input.
EXIT STATUS The md5, sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, sha512t224, sha512t256, rmd160, skein256, skein512, and skein1024 utilities exit 0 on success, 1 if at least one of the input files could not be read, and 2 if at least one file does not have the same hash as the -c option.
The md5sum, sha1sum, sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum, sha512sum, sha512t224sum, sha512t256sum, rmd160, skein256, skein512, skein1024 and shasum utilities exit 0 on success and 1 if at least one of the input files could not be read or, when verifying checksums, does not have the expected checksum.
EXAMPLES Calculate the MD5 checksum of the string "Hello".
$ md5 -s Hello MD5 ("Hello") = 8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7
Same as above, but note the absence of the newline character in the input string:
$ echo -n Hello | md5 8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7
Calculate the checksum of multiple files reversing the output:
$ md5 -r /boot/loader.conf /etc/rc.conf ada5f60f23af88ff95b8091d6d67bef6 /boot/loader.conf d80bf36c332dc0fdc479366ec3fa44cd /etc/rc.conf
This is almost but not quite identical to the output from GNU mode:
$ md5sum /boot/loader.conf /etc/rc.conf ada5f60f23af88ff95b8091d6d67bef6 /boot/loader.conf d80bf36c332dc0fdc479366ec3fa44cd /etc/rc.conf
Note the two spaces between hash and file name. If binary mode is requested, they are instead separated by a space and an asterisk:
$ md5sum -b /boot/loader.conf /etc/rc.conf ada5f60f23af88ff95b8091d6d67bef6 */boot/loader.conf d80bf36c332dc0fdc479366ec3fa44cd */etc/rc.conf
Write the digest for /boot/loader.conf in a file named digest. Then calculate the checksum again and validate it against the checksum string extracted from the digest file:
$ md5 /boot/loader.conf > digest && md5 -c $(cut -f2 -d= digest) /boot/loader.conf MD5 (/boot/loader.conf) = ada5f60f23af88ff95b8091d6d67bef6
as parameter. Instead, it expects a digest file, as created under the name digest for /boot/loader.conf in the example above.
$ md5 -c digest /boot/loader.conf /boot/loader.conf: OK
The digest file may contain any number of lines in the format generated in either BSD or GNU mode. If a hash value does not match the file, "FAILED" is printed instead of "OK".

BUGS In bits mode, the original shasum script is capable of processing inputs of arbitrary length. This implementation is not, and will issue an error if the input length is not a multiple of eight bits.
