.SH NAME |
nettle\-hash \- compute message digests |
.SH SYNOPSIS |
.B nettle-hash -a |
.I ALGORITHM |
.RI [ OPTIONS ] |
.RI [ FILE ]... |
.SH DESCRIPTION |
This manual page documents briefly the |
.B nettle\-hash |
command. |
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution |
because the original program does not have a manual page. |
Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below. |

.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and |
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, |
.\" respectively. |
\fBnettle\-hash\fP is a program that computes various message digests. |
The output is different from the familiar md5sum and sha*sum |
family. For each file, the file name and a colon is printed first, |
unless input is read from standard input, in which case nothing is |
printed. Then the hash is printed in chunks of 64 bits (16 hexadecimal |
digits) followed by the name of the algorith. In raw (binary) mode, |
the hash is not split in chunks and is not followed by a newline. |
|
.SH OPTIONS |
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long |
options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is |
included below. For a complete description, see the Info files. |
.TP |
.B \-a, \-\-algorithm=\fIalgorithm\fP |
Compute hash using \fIalgorithm\fP. |
.TP |
.B \-l, \-\-length=\fIlength\fP |
Truncate digests at \fIlength\fP octets. It is an error to specify a |
\fIlength\fP greater than the normal length of the selected digest. |
.TP |
.B \-\-list |
List supported hash algorithms. |

.B \-\-help |
Show summary of options. |
