Calculate SHA256 cryptographic checksums. More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/sha2-utilities.html>.

  • Calculate the SHA256 checksum for one or more files:
    sha256sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...
  • Calculate and save the list of SHA256 checksums to a file:
    sha256sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ... > path/to/file.sha256
  • Calculate a SHA256 checksum from `stdin`:
    command | sha256sum
  • Read a file of SHA256 sums and filenames and verify all files have matching checksums:
    sha256sum --check path/to/file.sha256
  • Only show a message for missing files or when verification fails:
    sha256sum --check --quiet path/to/file.sha256
  • Only show a message when verification fails, ignoring missing files:
    sha256sum --ignore-missing --check --quiet path/to/file.sha256
