With <code>shasum</code> command you can work with SHA Checksums.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
shasum [flag] [file]
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Store the Checksum</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can store the output in a file by adding to the command line the string
|
||
|
|
output symbol ">" and then the path and the name of the file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Define the algorithm</h3>
|
||
|
|
The flag <code>-a</code> allows you to choose which algorithm to use when
|
||
|
|
defining the checksum of a file. The default algorithm is 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
shasum -a algorithm file
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Read in binary mode</h3>
|
||
|
|
The flag <code>-b</code> allows you to read files in binary mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
shasum -b file
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Check two SHA sums</h3>
|
||
|
|
You can verify wheter two checksums belong to the same file or not (and so
|
||
|
|
define wheter the two files are the same thing) wit the flag <code>-c</code>.
|
||
|
|
After storing the Checksums into two files (let say file1 and file2),
|
||
|
|
you can write to command as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
shasum -c file1 file2
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Display help</h3>
|
||
|
|
Writing the command followed by the <code>-h</code> h flag will display a little
|
||
|
|
help paragraph with the main functions of this command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
shasum -h
|
||
|
|
</pre>
