# sha256sum
> Calculate SHA256 cryptographic checksums.
> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/sha2-utilities.html>.
- Calculate the SHA256 checksum for a file:
`sha256sum {{filename1}}`
- Calculate SHA256 checksums for multiple files:
`sha256sum {{filename1}} {{filename2}}`
- Calculate and save the list of SHA256 checksums to a file:
`sha256sum {{filename1}} {{filename2}} > {{filename.sha256}}`
- Read a file of SHA256 sums and verify all files have matching checksums:
`sha256sum --check {{filename.sha256}}`
- Only show a message for files for which verification fails:
`sha256sum --check --quiet {{filename.sha256}}`
