compute and check WHIRLPOOL message digest

Synopsis

whirlpoolsum [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Description

Print or check WHIRLPOOL (512-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

-b,  --binary

read in binary mode

-c,  --check

read WHIRLPOOL sums from the FILEs and check them

--tag

create a BSD-style checksum, always in binary mode

-t,  --text

read in text mode (default)

Note: There is no difference between binary and text mode option on GNU system.

The following three options are useful only when verifying checksums

--quiet

don't print OK for each successfully verified file

--status

don't output anything, status code shows success

-w,  --warn

warn about improperly formatted checksum lines

--strict

with --check, exit non-zero for any invalid input

--test

invoke Whirlpool API test function and exit

--help

display this help and exit

--version

output version information and exit

The sums are computed as described in the official WHIRLPOOL specs. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The  default mode  is to print  a line with checksum,  a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary, space for text), and name for each FILE.
