b2sum
: Print or check BLAKE2 digestsb2sum
computes a 512-bit checksum for each specified
file. The same usage and options as the md5sum
command are supported. See md5sum
: Print or check MD5 digests.
In addition b2sum
supports the following options.
Change (shorten) the default digest length. This is specified in bits and thus must be a multiple of 8. This option is ignored when --check is specified, as the length is automatically determined when checking.
