digest 1.0.2

Calculate message digests of files or standard input

Downloads ↓

Calculate a cryptohash on a file or standard input.

Usage:

digest algorithm [file] ...

The digest utility calculates message digests of files or, if no file is specified, standard input. The set of supported digests depends on the current Python interpreter and the version of OpenSSL present on the system. However, at a minimum, digest supports the following algorithms:

Argument	Algorithm
md5	The MD5 algorithm
sha1	The SHA-1 algorithm
sha224	The SHA-224 algorithm
sha256	The SHA-256 algorithm
sha384	The SHA-384 algorithm
sha512	The SHA-512 algorithm

This program is modeled on the digest program found in BSD Un*x systems and written by Alistair G. Crooks. This Python version is an independently implemented program based on the manual page and output from the BSD digest program.
