b2sum: Calculate the BLAKE2 checksum for one or more files.
$ b2sum ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine
This command is using the "b2sum" utility, which calculates and outputs BLAKE2 checksums for one or more files.
The "${filename1 filename2 ---}" part is representing a placeholder for the actual filenames that should be provided as arguments when executing the command. The filenames should be separated by spaces. Note that the "---" after the filenames is used to indicate the end of options and the beginning of file arguments.
For example, if you have two files named "file1.txt" and "file2.txt", the command would be written as:
b2sum file1.txt file2.txt
Running this command would then generate the BLAKE2 checksums for the specified files and display the results.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
