sha384sum: Calculate and save the list of SHA384 checksums to a file.

sha384sum

$ sha384sum ${filename1 filename2 ---} > ${filename-sha384}

try on your machine

This command is used to calculate the SHA-384 hash values of one or more files and save the results into a new file.

Let's break it down:

sha384sum: This is the command-line utility for calculating the SHA-384 hash value of a file. It takes the input file(s) and computes the hash.
${filename1 filename2 ---}: This is a placeholder for the names of the files for which you want to calculate the SHA-384 hash values. You can specify one or more file names, separated by spaces. The --- indicates that there could be additional file names.
>: This operator is used to redirect the standard output of a command to a file instead of displaying it on the terminal.
${filename-sha384}: This is a placeholder for the name of the file where you want to save the SHA-384 hash values. You can choose any desired file name, but it is recommended to end the file name with something that indicates the type of hash value it contains, such as "sha384".

Putting it all together, this command will compute the SHA-384 hash values of the specified files and save the results into a new file with the given name. The resulting file will contain one hash value per line, followed by the corresponding file name.
