sha224sum

Calculate SHA224 cryptographic checksums. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/sha2-utilities.html.

  • Calculate the SHA224 checksum for one or more files:

sha224sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 …

  • Calculate and save the list of SHA224 checksums to a file:

sha224sum path/to/file1 path/to/file2 … > path/to/file.sha224

  • Calculate a SHA224 checksum from stdin:

command | sha224sum

  • Read a file of SHA224 checksums and filenames and verify all files have matching checksums:

sha224sum --check path/to/file.sha224

  • Only show a message for missing files or when verification fails:

sha224sum --check --quiet path/to/file.sha224

  • Only show a message when verification fails, ignoring missing files:

sha224sum --ignore-missing --check --quiet path/to/file.sha224

  • Check a known SHA224 checksum of a file:

echo known_sha224_checksum_of_the_file path/to/file | sha224sum --check
