openssl-ts: Generate a SHA-512 timestamp request of a specific file and output to `file.tsq`.
$ openssl ts -query -data ${filename} -sha512 -out ${filename-tsq}
try on your machine
This command is using the openssl
tool to create a timestamp query for a specific data file. Here is a breakdown of the command:
openssl
: This is the command-line tool for OpenSSL, an open-source cryptography library that provides various cryptographic functionality.ts
: This is a subcommand of theopenssl
tool used for timestamp related operations.-query
: This option tells OpenSSL to create a timestamp query.-data ${filename}
: This specifies the data file that needs to be timestamped.${filename}
is a placeholder for the actual filename. You would replace${filename}
with the name of the file you want to timestamp.-sha512
: This option specifies the hash algorithm to be used for the timestamp query. In this case, SHA-512 is chosen as the hash algorithm. SHA-512 is a cryptographic hash function that produces a 512-bit (64-byte) hash value.-out ${filename-tsq}
: This option specifies the output file where the timestamp query will be written.${filename-tsq}
is a placeholder for the output filename. You would replace${filename-tsq}
with the desired name for the output file.
Overall, the command is creating a timestamp query for a specific file using SHA-512 as the hash algorithm, and saving the query to an output file.

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