NAME
b2sum - compute and check BLAKE2 message digest
SYNOPSIS
b2sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Print or check BLAKE2 (512-bit) checksums.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
-b, --binary
read in binary mode
-c, --check
read BLAKE2 sums from the FILEs and check them
-l, --length
digest length in bits; must not exceed the maximum for the
blake2 algorithm and must be a multiple of 8
--tag create a BSD-style checksum
-t, --text
read in text mode (default)
-z, --zero
end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable file
name escaping
The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
--ignore-missing
don't fail or report status for missing files
--quiet
don't print OK for each successfully verified file
--status
don't output anything, status code shows success
--strict
exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
-w, --warn
warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The sums are computed as described in RFC 7693. When checking, the in-
put should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to
print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode
('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant), and
name for each FILE.
