sha384sum:tldr:c60c2
The command sha384sum
is a utility used for calculating and verifying SHA-384 checksums.
Here's a breakdown of the options and arguments used in the command:
-
--check
: This option is used to check the integrity of the given file(s) with their associated SHA-384 checksums. It reads the checksum information from the file(s) and verifies it against the actual data of the file(s). -
--quiet
: This option is used to suppress the normal output of the command. It only displays output if the check operation fails. -
${filename-sha384}
: This is a placeholder for the filename that needs to be checked. It should be replaced with the actual filename you want to verify.
In summary, the command sha384sum --check --quiet ${filename-sha384}
is used to verify the integrity of a file by checking its SHA-384 checksum. If the check fails, it will display an output, otherwise, it will remain silent.
