.SH OPTIONS
The
.B b384sum
utility conforms to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017,
.IR "Section 12.2" ,
.IR "Utility Syntax Guidelines" .
.PP
The following options are supported:
.TP
.B -B
Output checksums in binary representation. This suppresses
the filenames and checksum delimiters. Only the checksums
are printed.
.TP
.B -c
Read BLAKE-384 sums from the file and check them against
the files on your systems. The input files files should be
formatted as the output of this program, or similarly.
This is not going to work if any of the filenames in the
input files starts with <space> or <tab>, or if they
contain a <newline, unless the
.B -z
option is also used.

.B -L
Output checksums in lower-case hexadecimal representation. (Default)
.TP
.B -U
Output checksums in upper-case hexadecimal representation.
.TP
.B -x
Convert input files from hexadecimal form to binary form
before calculating the checksums.
