Work in progress. - Fix many spelling/grammar issues, primarily in comments - Remove most spaces before punctuation - Update XXH3 comment - Wrap most comments to 80 columns - Unify most comments to use the same style - Use hexadecimal in the xxhash spec - Update help messages to better match POSIX/GNU conventions - Use HTML escapes in README.md to avoid UTF-8 - Mark outdated benchmark/scores

|
|
Print or check xxHash (32, 64 or 128 bits) checksums\. When \fIFILE\fR is \fB\-\fR, read standard input\.
|
|
.
|
|
.P
|

\fBxxhsum\fR supports a command line syntax similar but not identical to md5sum(1)\. Differences are: \fBxxhsum\fR doesn\'t have text/binary mode switch (\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-t\fR); \fBxxhsum\fR always treats files as binary files; \fBxxhsum\fR has a hash bit width switch (\fB\-H\fR);
|
|
.
|
|
.P
|
|
As xxHash is a fast non\-cryptographic checksum algorithm, \fBxxhsum\fR should not be used for security related purposes\.
|

.
|
|
.P
|

\fBxxhsum \-b\fR invokes benchmark mode\. See \fIOPTIONS\fR and \fIEXAMPLES\fR for details\.

\fB\-H\fR\fIHASHTYPE\fR
|

Hash selection\. \fIHASHTYPE\fR means \fB0\fR=32bits, \fB1\fR=64bits, \fB2\fR=128bits\. Default value is \fB1\fR (64bits)
|

Remove status messages like "Loading\.\.\." written to \fBstderr\fR \.

\fB\-\-little\-endian\fR

Set output hexadecimal checksum value as little endian convention\. By default, value is displayed as big endian\.

\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-check\fR \fIFILE\fR

Read xxHash sums from \fIFILE\fR and check them
|

|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR
|
|
On top of removing status messages written to \fBstderr\fR, also don\'t print OK for each successfully verified file
|
|
.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-strict\fR
|
|
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\.
|
|
.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-\-status\fR
|
|
Don\'t output anything\. Status code shows success\.
|
|
.

.TP
|
|
\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-warn\fR
|
|
Emit a warning message about each improperly formatted checksum line\.

\fBThe following options are useful only benchmark purpose\fR

\fB\-B\fR\fIBLOCKSIZE\fR
|
|
Only useful for benchmark mode (\fB\-b\fR)\. See \fIEXAMPLES\fR for details\. \fIBLOCKSIZE\fR specifies benchmark mode\'s test data block size in bytes\. Default value is 102400
|
|
.

.TP
|
|
\fB\-i\fR\fIITERATIONS\fR
|
|
Only useful for benchmark mode (\fB\-b\fR)\. See \fIEXAMPLES\fR for details\. \fIITERATIONS\fR specifies number of iterations in benchmark\. Single iteration lasts approximately 1000 milliseconds\. Default value is 3

\fBxxhsum\fR exit \fB0\fR on success, \fB1\fR if at least one file couldn\'t be read or doesn\'t have the same checksum as the \fB\-c\fR option\.
