Entire directory trees may also be examined and computed using the -R (--recursive) option. .SH OPTIONS .TP .BI \-\-digest= name Specify name of digest algorithm. By default md5 will be used, unless the command is executed through a symlink which happens to match an algorithm name. .TP .B \-\-follow Dereference and follow symlinks.
