nix hash convert - convert between hash formats

Synopsis

nix hash convert [option…] hashes…

Examples

•

Convert a hash to nix32 (a base-32 encoding with a Nix-specific character set).

$ nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 --to nix32 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df

•

Convert a hash to the sri format ⟨https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity⟩ that includes an algorithm specification:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df
sha1-gA1Zz808BekAy04hS+SPa4hqCN8=

or with an explicit --to format:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 --to sri 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df
sha1-gA1Zz808BekAy04hS+SPa4hqCN8=
•

Assert the input format of the hash:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 --from nix32 ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=
error: input hash 'ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=' does not have the expected format '--from nix32'
# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 --from nix32 1b8m03r63zqhnjf7l5wnldhh7c134ap5vpj0850ymkq1iyzicy5s
sha256-ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=

Description

nix hash convert converts hashes from one encoding to another.

Options

•

--from ⟨#opt-from⟩ hash-format

Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri).

•

--hash-algo ⟨#opt-hash-algo⟩ hash-algo

Hash algorithm (md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512). Can be omitted for SRI hashes.

•

--to ⟨#opt-to⟩ hash-format

Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri). Default: sri.

Logging-related options

•

--debug ⟨#opt-debug⟩

Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug’.

•

--log-format ⟨#opt-log-format⟩ format

Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.

Print full build logs on standard error.

•

--quiet ⟨#opt-quiet⟩

Decrease the logging verbosity level.

•

Show usage information.

•

--offline ⟨#opt-offline⟩

Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.

•

--option ⟨#opt-option⟩ name value

--refresh ⟨#opt-refresh⟩

Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

•
