@section Note

All commands in the sha3sum package allow changing
the hashing parameters. However it is only intended
to be used with @b{keccaksum}, or if you know what you
are doing; apart from @b{--output} which is intended
to @emph{always} be used with @b{shake256sum},
@b{shake512sum}, @b{rawshake256sum} and @b{rawshake512sum}.
