gmssl: Generate an SM3 hash for a file.
$ gmssl sm3 ${filename}
try on your machine

The command gmssl sm3 ${filename} is using the gmssl tool to compute the SM3 hash value of a file specified by ${filename}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • gmssl: This is the command to run the gmssl tool. It is a command-line utility for cryptography operations.
  • sm3: This specifies that we want to compute the SM3 hash value.
  • ${filename}: This is a placeholder for the name of the file you want to compute the SM3 hash for. You would need to replace ${filename} with the actual filename in the command.

To use this command, you would need to have gmssl installed on your system. It is commonly used for cryptographic operations like hashing, signing, verifying, and encrypting.
