- Calculate the SHA512 checksum for a file:
`sha512sum {{path/to/file}}`
- Calculate SHA512 checksums for multiple files:
`sha512sum {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Calculate and save the list of SHA512 checksums to a file:
`sha512sum {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}} > {{path/to/file.sha512}}`
- Read a file of SHA512 sums and verify all files have matching checksums:
`sha512sum --check {{path/to/file.sha512}}`
- Only show a message for files for which verification fails:
`sha512sum --check --quiet {{path/to/file.sha512}}`
