(Default) .TP +.BI "-S " salt +Specify a 16-byte salt that the BLAKE-256 algorithm shall use. +This salt shall be expressed in full length hexadecimal: 32 +hexadecimal digits, or rather 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 +.B 80 +represents a byte with the decimal value 128, whereas the +digit pair +.B 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 salt where each byte's value is its +index, the salt is expressed as, +.BR 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f , +however each letter may be either small or capital. +If no salt is specified, an all-zeroes salt is used. +.TP .B -U Output checksums in upper-case hexadecimal representation. .TP |
