sha224sum: Calculate the SHA224 checksum for one or more files.
$ sha224sum ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine
The command "sha224sum" is a utility program used to calculate the SHA-224 (Secure Hash Algorithm 224-bit) checksum of one or more files.
The syntax "${filename1 filename2 ---}" is a placeholder notation used to represent any number of file names passed as arguments to the command.
For example, if you execute the command "sha224sum file1.txt file2.txt" in a terminal, the program will calculate the SHA-224 checksums of both "file1.txt" and "file2.txt". The resulting checksums will be displayed as output on the terminal screen.
