# rust-cksum(1)

Print CRC and size for each file

## NAME

cksum - Print CRC and size for each file

## SYNOPSIS

**cksum** \[**-a**\|**--algorithm**\] \[**--untagged**\] \[**--tag**\] \[**-l**\|**--length**\] \[**--raw**\] \[**--strict**\] \[**-c**\|**--check**\] \[**--base64**\] \[**-w**\|**--warn**\] \[**--status**\] \[**--quiet**\] \[**--ignore-missing**\] \[**-z**\|**--zero**\] \[**-h**\|**--help**\] \[**-V**\|**--version**\] \[*file*\]

## DESCRIPTION

Print CRC and size for each file

## OPTIONS

- **-a**, **--algorithm**=*ALGORITHM*

  select the digest type to use. See DIGEST below\

  \[*possible values:* sysv, bsd, crc, crc32b, md5, sha1, sha3, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, blake2b, blake3, sm3, shake128, shake256\]

- **--untagged**

  create a reversed style checksum, without digest type

- **--tag**

  create a BSD style checksum, undo --untagged (default)

- **-l**, **--length**

  digest length in bits; must not exceed the max for the blake2 algorithm and must be a multiple of 8

- **--raw**

  emit a raw binary digest, not hexadecimal

- **--strict**

  exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines

- **-c**, **--check**

  read hashsums from the FILEs and check them

- **--base64**

  emit a base64 digest, not hexadecimal

- **-w**, **--warn**

  warn about improperly formatted checksum lines

- **--status**

  don't output anything, status code shows success

- **--quiet**

  don't print OK for each successfully verified file

- **--ignore-missing**

  don't fail or report status for missing files

- **-z**, **--zero**

  end each output line with NUL, not newline,\
    and disable file name escaping

- **-h**, **--help**

  Print help

- **-V**, **--version**

  Print version

## EXTRA

DIGEST determines the digest algorithm and default output format:

\- sysv:    (equivalent to sum -s) - bsd:     (equivalent to sum -r) - crc:     (equivalent to cksum) - crc32b:  (only available through cksum) - md5:     (equivalent to md5sum) - sha1:    (equivalent to sha1sum) - sha224:  (equivalent to sha224sum) - sha256:  (equivalent to sha256sum) - sha384:  (equivalent to sha384sum) - sha512:  (equivalent to sha512sum) - blake2b: (equivalent to b2sum) - sm3:     (only available through cksum)
