DESCRIPTION
Print or check BLAKE, BLAKE2, or BLAKE2X checksums.

+ -K key
+ (Only available in b2sum)
+ Specify a key (which is used for MAC and PRF), that is
+ up to 32 bytes (if the -s option is used) or 64 bytes
+ (otherwise) long, that the algorithm shall use. The
+ key shall be expressed in hexadecimal: each byte in the
+ key shall be expressed, from left to right, as a pairs
+ of hexadecimal digits where highest bits in each byte
+ is stored in the left digit in its pair and the lowest
+ bits in each byte is stored in the right digit in its
+ pair. No delimiters are used, so for a 4 byte key where
+ each byte's value is its index, the key is expessed as
+ 00010203, however each letter may be either small or
+ capital. The key may not be empty.

-L Output checksums in lower-case hexadecimal
representation. (Default)

the -s option is used between 8 and 256,
inclusively. (Default is maximum.)
+ -P pepper
+ (Only available in b2sum)
+ Specify an 8-byte (if the -s option is used) or 16-byte
+ pepper ("personalisation") (otherwise) that the algorithm
+ shall use. This pepper shall be expressed in full length
+ hexadecimal: 16 (for 8-byte) or 32 (for 16-byte)
+ hexadecimal digits, or rather 8 or 16 pairs of hexadecimal
+ digits, ordered from left to right to specify the values
+ from index 0 to the last byte. In each pair, the left
+ digit stores the high bits of the byte, and the right
+ digit stores the low bits of the byte. For example, the
+ digit pair 80 represents a byte with the decimal value
+ 128, whereas the digit pair 08 represents a byte with
+ the decimal value 8. The pairs are joined without any
+ delimiters, and no byte may be omitted. So, for a 8 byte
+ pepper where each byte's value is its index, the pepper
+ is expressed as 0001020304050607, however each letter
+ may be either small or capital. If no pepper is specified,
+ an all-zeroes pepper is used.
+
+ -S salt
+ Specify a salt that the algorithm shall use. The
+ size of the salt depends on which algorithm used.
+ This salt shall be expressed in full length hexadecimal.
+ The decimal digits are logically groupped in pairs that
+ are ordered from left to right to specify the values
+ from index 0 to the last byte. In each pair, the left
+ digit stores the high bits of the byte, and the right
+ digit stores the low bits of the byte. For example,
+ the digit pair 80 represents a byte with the decimal
+ value 128, whereas the digit pair 08 represents a byte
+ with the decimal value 8. The pairs are joined without
+ any delimiters, and no byte may be omitted. So, for a
+ 16 byte salt where each byte's value is its index, the
+ salt is expressed as 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f,
+ however each letter may be either small or capital. If
+ no salt is specified, an all-zeroes salt is used.
