|  | Use **-a list** to list available algorithms. |
|  | Use **-a auto** for the default algorithm (BLAKE3). |
|  | Examples: sha256, sha512, sha3-512, blake2b-256, md5, crc32c |

| **-ed** | List dynamically linked ELF executables under PATH (conflicts with **-es**). |
| **-es** | List statically linked ELF executables under PATH (conflicts with **-ed**). |
