The file +shall be formatted as the output of the utility +when this option is not used. See the +.B STDOUT +section for more information. If a file is listed +multiple times, it need only match one of the +checksums listed for the file. + +The length of the listed checksums need not match +the length output by this utility; before the +checksums are compared, they are truncated to the +shorter of the two checksums. +.TP +.B -t +Read in text mode when computing hashes. +.TP +.BR -W \ \fIoptions\fP +Comma-sepearated list of implementation-specific +options. The following options are supported: +.RS +.TP +.BI output= format +.I format +shall be +.RB \(dq lowercase \(dq +if the checksums shall be printed in lowercase +hexadecimal format (default), +.RB \(dq uppercase \(dq +for uppercase hexadecimal format, or +.RB \(dq binary \(dq +for binary format without anything but the +checksum printed to standard output.

If the +.B -c +option is used, the mode specification +associated with a file is overrides this +behaviour for that file if the line +specifies hexadecimal mode. +.TP +.B recursive +If a +.I file +operand is a directory, the checksum is computed for +all files recursively. This option is ignored if the +.B -c +option is used. +.TP +.B no-recursive +The utility shall traverse directories. +(This is the default behaviour). +.TP +.B xdev +Implies +.B -W recursive +but also allows the recursion across mountpoints. +.TP +.B no-xdev +Disable recursion across mountpoints. +(This is the default behaviour). +Note that this does not disable +recursion by itself. +.TP +.B xlink +Implies +.B -W recursive +but also allows the recursion across symbolic links. +.TP +.B no-xlink +Disable recursion across symbolic links. +(This is the default behaviour). +Note that this does not disable +recursion by itself. +.RE +.TP +.B -w +Warn about, but skip, lines that are not properly +formatted. +.TP +.B -z +Use NUL byte as line ending instead of LF. +.PP +There is no difference between binary mode and text mode, +so the +.B -b +and +.B -t +options are ignored, except that they undo +.BR "-W input=hexadecimal" . + +.SH OPERANDS +The following operand is supported: +.TP +.I file +The file to read and compute the checksum for, or if the +.B -c +option is used, use as the listing of files and checksums +to verify the files against. If dash +.RB (' - ') +is used or if no file operand is specified, standard input +will be used. + +.SH STDOUT +If the +.B -c +option is not used, the utility shall print the following +line for each calculated checksum, however there are options +that modify the format; see the +.B OPTIONS +section for more information: +.PP +.RS +.B \(dq%s %c%s\en\(dq, +.RI < hash >\fB,\fP +.RI < mode >\fB,\fP +.RI < file > +.RE +.PP +where +.I mode +is SP (' ') for text mode, an asterisk +.RB (' * ') +for binary mode, or a pound sign +.RB (' # ') +for hexadecimal mode; however if there is no difference +between binary mode and text mode and either is selected, +SP (' ') (text mode) is used. +.PP +If the +.B -c +option the output shall be on the format: +.PP +.RS +.B \(dq%s: %s\en\(dq, +.RI < file >\fB,\fP +.RI < validity > +.RE +.PP +where +.I validity +is an implementation specified string +that describes whether the checksum was valid (possibly +with remarks), the file did not exist, the file could +not be read (possibly with error information), or if +the checksum was invalid or could not be compared +(possibly with remarks). The +.B -z +option does not modify the line ending. + +.SH EXIT STATUS +The following exit values are returned: +.TP +0 +Successful completion. +.TP +1 +Checksums did not match or a file did not exist. +.TP +2 +An error occurred. + +.SH NOTES +Other implementations do not necessarily recognise the +hexadecimal mode specifier +.RB (' # ') +in checksum list files. +.PP +The +.B -c +option accepting truncated checksums is an +implementation-specific behaviour. + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR anysum (1) |
