rhash: Calculate default CRC32 digests of a file.
$ rhash ${filename}
try on your machine

This command is using the rhash program with the filename variable as an argument. The ${filename} represents the name of a file that you want to compute a hash for.

The rhash program is a utility used to calculate hash values of files. A hash value is a unique digital fingerprint that is calculated using an algorithm on the content of the file. It is commonly used for data integrity verification or to check if a file has been tampered with.

By running the command "rhash ${filename}", the program will use the specified filename to calculate the hash value of the corresponding file. The resulting hash value will be displayed as the output of the command.
