# gost-hash(1)

calculate/check CRC32, MD5, SHA1, GOST, TTH, BTIH or other hash sums.

Part of [rhash(1)](/rhash/1.md).

## NAME

rhash - calculate/check CRC32, MD5, SHA1, GOST, TTH, BTIH or other hash sums.

## SYNOPSIS

**rhash \[** *option* **\]... \[** *file* **\]...**

## DESCRIPTION

**RHash** (Recursive Hasher) computes and verifies various message digests (hash sums) of files or strings. Supported message digests include CRC32, CRC32C, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA3, Tiger, DC++ TTH, BTIH, AICH, ED2K, GOST R 34.11-\*, RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, EDON-R 256/512, Whirlpool, Snefru-128/256.

The program can create and verify Magnet links  and eDonkey ed2k:// links, see --magnet and --ed2k-link options.

A dash string parameter \`-' is interpreted as stdin file.

By default **rhash** prints sums in SFV format with CRC32 hash sum only. The format can be changed by options --bsd, --magnet, --simple, --printf, --template. To output all sums use the \`-a' option.

The default output format can be changed by renaming the program or placing a hardlink/symlink to it with a filename containing strings \`crc32', \`crc32c', \`md4', \`md5', \`sha1', \`sha256' \`sha512', \`tiger', \`tth', \`btih', \`aich', \`ed2k', \`ed2k-link', \`gost12-256', \`gost12-512', \`gost94', \`gost94-cryptopro', \`ripemd160', \`has160', \`whirlpool', \`edonr256', \`edonr512', \`snefru128', \`snefru256', \`sfv' or \`magnet'.

## PROGRAM MODE OPTIONS

The default mode is to print hash sums for all files and directory trees specified by command line. The mode can be set by the following options.

- \-c, --check

  Check hash files specified by command line. RHash can verify hash files in SFV and BSD formats, standard MD5 and SHA1 files, and text files containing magnet or ed2k links (one link per line). Empty lines and lines starting with \`;' or \`#' are skipped. In fact RHash can verify most hash files generated by itself without formatting options --printf and --template.

- \-u, --update

  Update hash files specified by command line. The program calculates and appends hashes to the updated hash file in the format specified by formatting options. Hashes are calculated for those files from the same directory as the hash file, which are yet not present in it.

- \-k, --check-embedded

  Verify files by crc32 sum embedded in their names.

- \--torrent

  Create a torrent file for each processed file.

- \-h, --help

  Help: print help screen and exit.

- \-V, --version

  Version: print version and exit.

- \-B, --benchmark

  Run benchmark for selected algorithm(s).

  Print per-file and the total processing speed.

- \-e, --embed-crc

  Rename files by inserting crc32 sum into name.

- \--embed-crc-delimiter=\<delimiter\>

  Insert specified \<delimiter\> before a crc sum in the --embed-crc mode,  default is white space. The \<delimiter\> can be a character or empty string.

- \--path-separator=\<separator\>

  Use specified path separator to display paths.

- \-q, --accept=\<list\>

  Set a comma‐delimited list of extensions of the files to process.

- \--exclude=\<list\>

  Set a comma‐delimited list of extensions of the files to exclude from processing.

- \-t, --crc-accept=\<list\>

  Set a comma‐delimited list of extensions of the hash files to verify.

- \--maxdepth=\<levels\>

  Descend at most \<levels\> (a non‐negative integer) levels of directories below  the command line arguments. \`--maxdepth 0' means only apply the tests and  actions to the command line arguments.

- \-o, --output=\<file-path\>

  Set the file to output calculated hashes and verification results to.

- \-l, --log=\<file-path\>

  Set the file to log errors and verbose information to.

- \--openssl=\<list\>

  Specify which hash functions should be calculated using the OpenSSL library. The \<list\> is a comma delimited list of hash names, but only those supported by openssl are allowed, e.g. md4, md5, sha1, sha256, ripemd160. See openssl documentation for the full list.

- \--gost-reverse

  Reverse bytes in hexadecimal output of the GOST hash sum. The most significant bytes of the hash will be printed first. Default order is the least significant bytes first.

- \--bt-batch=\<file-path\>

  Turn on torrent batch mode (implies torrent mode). Calculates batch-torrent for the files specified at command line and saves the torrent file to the file-path. The option -r \<directory\> can be useful in this mode.

- \--bt-piece-length

  Set the  *piece length* value for torrent file.

- \--bt-announce=\<announce-url\>

  Add a tracker announce URL to the created torrent file(s). Several URLs can be passed by specifying the option mutltiple times. This option doesn't change the BTIH hash.

- \--benchmark-raw

  Switch benchmark output format to be a machine‐readable tab‐delimited text with hash function name, speed, cpu clocks per byte. This option works only if the --benchmark option was specified.

- \-- (double dash)

  Mark the end of command line options. All parameters following the double dash are interpreted as files or directories. It is typically used to process filenames starting with a dash \`-'. Alternatively you can specify './' or full path before such files, so they will not look like options anymore.

## OUTPUT FORMAT OPTIONS

- \--sfv

  Print hash sums in the SFV (Simple File Verification) output format (default).  But unlike common SFV file, not only CRC32, but any hash sums specified by options can be printed.

- \-g, --magnet

  Print hash sums formatted as magnet links.

- \--bsd

  Use BSD output format. Each hash sum is printed on separate line after hash name and file's path, enclosed in parentheses.

- \--simple

  Use simple output format. Each line will consist of filename and hash sums specified by options.

- \--uppercase

  Print hash sums in upper case.

- \--lowercase

  Print hash sums in lower case.

- \--template=\<file\>

  Read printf‐like template from given \<file\>. See the --printf option.

- \-p, --printf=\<format\>

  Format: print  *format* string the standard output, interpreting \`\\'  escapes and \`%' directives. The escapes and directives are:

  - \\n

    Newline.

  - \\r

    Carriage return.

    Horizontal tab.

  - \\\\

  - \\NNN

    The character which octal ASCII code is NNN.

  - \\xNN

  A \`\\' character followed by any other character is treated as an ordinary character, so they both are printed.

    A literal percent sign.

  - %p

    File's path.

  - %f

    File's name.

  - %u

    URL‐encoded filename.

    AICH hash sum.

  - %c or %C

    CRC32 hash sum.  Use %c for lowercase and %C for uppercase characters.

  - %g or %G

    GOST R 34.11-94 hash.

  - %h or %H

    SHA1 hash.

  - %e or %E

    ED2K hash sum.

    Print the specified hash sum. The hash is printed in uppercase, if the name of the hash sum starts with a capital letter, e.g. %{TTH}, %{Sha-512}.

  - %x\<hash\>, %b\<hash\>, %B\<hash\>, %@\<hash\>

    Use one of these prefixes to output a hash sum in hexadecimal, base32, base64 or raw (binary) format respectively, e.g. %b{md4}, %BH or %xT.

## CONFIG FILE

RHash looks for a config file at $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/rhash/rhashrc, $HOME/.rhashrc and /etc/rhashrc.

The config file consists of lines formatted as

variable = value

where the *variable* can be a name of any command line option, like *magnet,* *printf,* *percents, etc.* A boolean variable can be set to true by a value \`on', \`yes' or \`true', any other value sets the variable to false.

Empty lines and lines starting with \`#' or \`;' are ignored.

Example config file:

```
# This is a comment line
percents = on
crc-accept = .sfv,.md5,.sha1,.sha256,.sha512,.tth,.magnet
```
