SHA512SUM(1)                    User Commands                   SHA512SUM(1)

NAME         top

       sha512sum - compute and check SHA512 message digest

SYNOPSIS         top

       sha512sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION         top

       Print or check SHA512 (512-bit) checksums.
       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
       -b, --binary
              read in binary mode
       -c, --check
              read SHA512 sums from the FILEs and check them
       --tag  create a BSD-style checksum
       -t, --text
              read in text mode (default)
   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 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 space, a character indicating input
       mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant),
       and name for each FILE.
