sha256sum

Calculate SHA256 cryptographic checksums.

• Calculate the SHA256 checksum for a file:

sha256sum {{filename1}}

• Calculate SHA224 checksums for multiple files:

sha256sum {{filename1}} {{filename2}}

• Read a file of SHA256 sums and verify all files have matching checksums:

sha256sum -c {{filename.sha256}}
