NAME¶
sha3sum - Print or Check SHA-3 Checksums
SYNOPSIS¶
Usage: sha3sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print or check SHA-3 checksums.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
-a, --algorithm 224 (default), 256, 384, 512, 0
-b, --binary read in binary mode
-c, --check read SHA-3 sums from the FILEs and check them
-t, --text read in text mode (default)
-U, --UNIVERSAL read in Universal Newlines mode
produces same digest on Windows/Unix/Mac
-0, --01 read in BITS mode
ASCII '0' interpreted as 0-bit,
ASCII '1' interpreted as 1-bit,
all other characters ignored
-p, --portable read in portable mode (to be deprecated)
The following two options are useful only when verifying checksums:
-s, --status don't output anything, status code shows success
-w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
-h, --help display this help and exit
-v, --version output version information and exit
The sums are computed as described in the Keccak SHA-3 submission.
When checking, the input should be a former output of this program.
The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character
indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text, `U' for UNIVERSAL,
`^' for BITS, `?' for portable), and name for each FILE.

DESCRIPTION¶
Running
sha3sum is often the quickest way to compute SHA-3 message
digests. The user simply feeds data to the script through files or standard
input, and then collects the results from standard output.
The following command shows how to compute digests for typical inputs such as
the NIST test vector "abc":
perl -e "print qq(abc)" | sha3sum
Or, if you want to use SHA3-256 instead of the default SHA3-224, simply say:
perl -e "print qq(abc)" | sha3sum -a 256
Unlike many other digest computation programs,
sha3sum implements the
full SHA-3 standard by allowing partial-byte inputs, which can be recognized
through the BITS option (
-0). The following example computes the
SHA3-384 digest of the 7-bit message
0001100:
perl -e "print qq(0001100)" | sha3sum -0 -a 384
