SHA512SUM(1) User Commands SHA512SUM(1)
sha512sum - compute and check SHA512 message digest
sha512sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print or check SHA512 (512-bit) checksums. Legacy interface to
the cksum utility.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum-b\-b, --binary]8;;\
read in binary mode
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum-c\-c, --check]8;;\
read checksums from the FILEs and check them
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum--tag\--tag]8;;\ create a BSD-style checksum
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum-t\-t, --text]8;;\
read in text mode (default)
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum-z\-z, --zero]8;;\
end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable
file name escaping
The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:

don't fail or report status for missing files
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum--quiet\--quiet]8;;\
don't print OK for each successfully verified file
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum--status\--status]8;;\
don't output anything, status code shows success
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum--strict\--strict]8;;\
exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/coreutils.html#cksum-w\-w, --warn]8;;\
warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/cksum#cksum--help\--help]8;;\ display this help and exit
]8;;https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/cksum#cksum--version\--version]8;;\
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.
There is no difference between binary mode and text mode on GNU
systems.
