Problem

How to use the sha384sum command: Calculate SHA384 cryptographic checksums. More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/sha2-utilities.html>.

Solution

sha384sum — Calculate SHA384 cryptographic checksums. More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/sha2-utilities.html>.

Calculate the SHA384 checksum for one or more files:

sha384sum {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

Calculate and save the list of SHA384 checksums to a file:

sha384sum {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/file.sha384}}

Calculate a SHA384 checksum from stdin:

{{command}} | sha384sum

Read a file of SHA384 checksums and filenames and verify all files have matching checksums:

sha384sum {{[-c|--check]}} {{path/to/file.sha384}}

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

sha384sum {{[-c|--check]}} --quiet {{path/to/file.sha384}}

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

sha384sum --ignore-missing {{[-c|--check]}} --quiet {{path/to/file.sha384}}

Check a known SHA384 checksum of a file:

echo {{known_sha384_checksum_of_the_file}} {{path/to/file}} | sha384sum {{[-c|--check]}}
