# rhash > Calculate or check common message digests. > More information: . - Calculate default CRC32 digests of a file: `rhash {{path/to/file}}` - Recursively process a directory to generate an SFV file using SHA1: `rhash --sha1 --recursive {{path/to/folder}} > {{path/to/output.sfv}}` - Verify the integrity of files based on an SFV file: `rhash --check {{path/to/file.sfv}}` - Calculate the SHA3 digest of a text message: `rhash --sha3-256 --message '{{message}}'` - Calculate CRC32 digest of a file and output digest encoded in base64 using BSD format: `rhash --base64 --bsd {{path/to/file}}` - Use custom output template: `rhash --printf '{{%p\t%s\t%{mtime}\t%m\n}}' {{path/to/file}}`
