Simple file hash digests and file integrity checks
Project description
Documentation: https://chrissimpkins.github.io/hsh/
Description
hsh is a cross-platform command line application that generates file hash digests and performs file integrity checks via file hash digest comparisons. It supports the following hash algorithms:
MD5
SHA1
SHA224
SHA256
SHA384
SHA512
Install
Install with pip using the command:
$ pip install hshor download the source repository, unpack it, and navigate to the top level of the repository. Then enter:
$ python setup.py installUpgrade
You can upgrade your hsh version with the command:
$ pip install --upgrade hshExamples of hsh File Hash Digest Features

===============================^
The hash digests are NOT identical.A diff string is displayed below the hash digests when they differ as shown in the example above.
