sha1sum: Calculate a SHA1 checksum from `stdin`.
$ ${command} | sha1sum
try on your machine
This command is used to compute the SHA-1 hash of the output generated by the ${command}.
Here's a breakdown of this command:
-
${command}: This represents a placeholder for a specific command that will generate some output. It can be replaced by the actual command you want to run. -
|(pipe): This symbol is used to redirect the standard output of the command preceding it as input to the command following it. -
sha1sum: This is the command that calculates the SHA-1 hash of the input it receives via the pipe.
In summary, the output generated by ${command} is passed as input to sha1sum, which then computes the SHA-1 hash value. The resulting hash is printed to the standard output.

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