DIGEST determines the digest algorithm and default output format:

• sysv: equivalent to sum -s
• bsd: equivalent to sum -r
• crc: equivalent to cksum
• crc32b: only available through cksum
• md5: equivalent to md5sum
• sha1: equivalent to sha1sum
• sha2: equivalent to sha{224,256,384,512}sum
• sha3: only available through cksum
• blake2b: equivalent to b2sum
• sm3: only available through cksum

Examples

Display a 32-bit checksum, size in bytes, and filename:

cksum {{path/to/file}}
