sha224sum: Calculate and save the list of SHA224 checksums to a file.
$ sha224sum ${filename1 filename2 ---} > ${filename-sha224}
try on your machine
This command is used to calculate the SHA-224 hash value for one or more files and store the result in a separate file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
sha224sum
: This is the command-line utility for calculating the SHA-224 hash value.${filename1 filename2 ---}
: This is a placeholder for one or more filenames that you want to calculate the hash of. For example, if you have two files named "file1.txt" and "file2.txt", you would replace${filename1 filename2 ---}
with"file1.txt file2.txt"
.>
: This is a redirection operator which means that the output of the command should be written to a file.${filename-sha224}
: This is a placeholder for the filename that you want to use for storing the hash value. For example, if you want to store the hash value in a file named "file-sha224.txt", you would replace${filename-sha224}
with"file-sha224.txt"
.
So when you run this command, it calculates the SHA-224 hash value of the specified file(s) and writes the result to the given filename.
