NAME
sha256sum - compute and check SHA256 message digest
SYNOPSIS
sha256sum [OPTION] [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Print or check SHA256 (256-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read
standard input.
-b, --binary
read in binary mode
-c, --check
read SHA256 sums from the FILEs and check them
-t, --text
read in text mode (default)
The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums:
--status
don't output anything, status code shows success
-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 FIPS-180-2. When checking, the input should
be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with
checksum, a character indicating type ('*' for binary, ' ' for text), and name for
each FILE.
