DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
2019-09-29 00:55:41 +00:00
|
|
|
Print or check xxHash (32, 64 or 128 bits) checksums. When <FILE> is `-`, read
|
2016-02-19 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
standard input.
|
|
|
|
|
2016-10-26 14:47:53 +00:00
|
|
|
`xxhsum` supports a command line syntax similar but not identical to
|
2016-08-23 09:42:53 +00:00
|
|
|
md5sum(1). Differences are:
|
|
|
|
`xxhsum` doesn't have text/binary mode switch (`-b`, `-t`);
|
2020-03-02 20:20:49 +00:00
|
|
|
`xxhsum` always treats files as binary file;
|
|
|
|
`xxhsum` has a hash bit width switch (`-H`);
|
2016-02-19 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2016-08-23 09:42:53 +00:00
|
|
|
As xxHash is a fast non-cryptographic checksum algorithm,
|
|
|
|
`xxhsum` should not be used for security related purposes.

2016-02-23 05:13:38 +00:00
|
|
|
`xxhsum -b` invokes benchmark mode. See [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS) and [EXAMPLES](#EXAMPLES) for details.

|
|
|
* `-c`, `--check` <FILE>:

|
|
|
Return an error code if any line in the file is invalid,
|
|
|
|
not just if some checksums are wrong.
|
|
|
|
This policy is disabled by default,
|
|
|
|
though UI will prompt an informational message
|
|
|
|
if any line in the file is detected invalid.
|
2016-02-19 18:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|

|
|
|
* `--status`:

|
|
|
|
Benchmark mode. See [EXAMPLES](#EXAMPLES) for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `-B`<BLOCKSIZE>:
|

EXIT STATUS
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`xxhsum` exit `0` on success, `1` if at least one file couldn't be read or
|
|
|
|
doesn't have the same checksum as the `-c` option.

|
|
|
|

Benchmark xxHash algorithm for 16384 bytes data in 10 times. `xxhsum`
|

|
|
|
benchmarks all xxHash variants and output results to standard output.
|
2020-03-02 20:20:49 +00:00
|
|
|
The first column is the algorithm, thw second column is the source data
|
|
|
|
size in bytes, the third column is the number of hashes generated per
|
|
|
|
second (throughput), and finally the last column translates speed in
|
|
|
|
megabytes per second.
