NAME
rhash - calculate/check CRC32, MD5, SHA1, GOST, TTH, BTIH or other message digests.
SYNOPSIS
rhash [ option ]... [ file ]...
DESCRIPTION
RHash (Recursive Hasher) computes and verifies various message digests and checksums of files. Supported
hash algorithms include CRC32, CRC32C, MD4, MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA3, Tiger, DC++ TTH, BTIH, AICH,
ED2K, GOST R 34.11-*, RIPEMD-160, HAS-160, BLAKE2s/BLAKE2b, EDON-R 256/512, Whirlpool, Snefru-128/256.
The program can create and verify Magnet links and eDonkey ed2k:// links, see --magnet and --ed2k-link
options.
A dash string parameter `-' is interpreted as the standard input stream (stdin).
By default rhash prints sums in SFV format with CRC32 checksum only. The format can be changed by
options --bsd, --magnet, --simple, --printf, --template. To output all sums use the `-a' option.
PROGRAM MODE OPTIONS
The default mode is to print checksums for all files and directory trees specified by command line. The
mode can be changed by the following options.
-c, --check
Check hash files specified by command line. RHash can verify hash files in SFV and BSD formats,
MD5 and SHA1 files format and text files containing magnet or ed2k links (one link per line).
Empty lines and lines starting with `;' or `#' are ignored.
RHash can verify hash files generated without --printf and --template formatting options.
If the hash algorithm is not specified by command line options then RHash tries to detect
algorithm from the extension of the hash file. If detection fails, then all hash function of the
same hash length are calculated, and that significally slows down files verification. To speed up
verification, in such case, explicitly specify the hash algorithm in the command line.
-u, --update=<hash-file>
Update the hash file specified by the option. Checksums will be calculated for all files
specified by command and not present in this hash file. The calculated checksums will be appended
to the updated hash file in the format specified by formatting options. This option can be
combined with --recursive, to update a hash file for whole directory trees.
-k, --check-embedded
Verify files by crc32 sum embedded in their names.
--torrent
Create a torrent file for each processed file.
-h, --help
Help: print help screen and exit.
-V, --version
Version: print version and exit.
-B, --benchmark
Run benchmark for the selected hash algorithm(s).

MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS
-r, --recursive
Recursively process directories, specified by command line.

Print per-file and the total processing speed.
-e, --embed-crc
Rename files by inserting crc32 sum into name.
--embed-crc-delimiter=<delimiter>

<delimiter> can be a character or empty string.
--path-separator=<separator>
Use specified path separator to display paths.

--exclude=<list>
Set a comma‐delimited list of extensions of the files to exclude from processing.
-t, --crc-accept=<list>
Set a comma‐delimited list of extensions of the hash files to verify.
--maxdepth=<levels>
Descend at most <levels> (a non‐negative integer) levels of directories below the command line
arguments. `--maxdepth 0' means only apply the tests and actions to the command line arguments.
-o, --output=<file-path>
Set the file to output calculated message digests or verification results to.
-l, --log=<file-path>
Set the file to log errors and verbose information to.
--openssl=<list>
Specify which hash functions should be calculated using the OpenSSL library. The <list> is a
comma delimited list of hash function names, but only those supported by openssl are allowed: md4,
md5, sha1, sha2*, ripemd160 and whirlpool.
--gost-reverse
Reverse bytes in hexadecimal output of a GOST hash functions. The most significant byte of the
message digest will be printed first. Default order is the least significant byte first.
--bt-batch=<file-path>
Turn on torrent batch mode (implies torrent mode). Calculates batch-torrent for the files
specified at command line and saves the torrent file to the file-path. The option -r <directory>
can be useful in this mode.
--bt-private
Generate BTIH for a private BitTorrent tracker.
--bt-piece-length
Set the piece length value for torrent file.
--bt-announce=<announce-url>
Add a tracker announce URL to the created torrent file(s). Several URLs can be passed by
specifying the option mutltiple times. This option doesn't change the BTIH message digest.
--benchmark-raw
Switch benchmark output format to be a machine‐readable tab‐delimited text with hash function
name, speed, cpu clocks per byte. This option works only if the --benchmark option was specified.
--no-detect-by-ext
Disable hash function detection from a hash file extension in the --check mode.
-- (double dash)
Mark the end of command line options. All parameters following the double dash are interpreted as
files or directories. It is typically used to process filenames starting with a dash `-'.
Alternatively you can specify './' or full path before such files, so they will not look like
options anymore.
OUTPUT FORMAT OPTIONS
--sfv Print message digests in the SFV (Simple File Verification) output format (default). But unlike
common SFV file, not only CRC32, but any message digests specified by options can be printed.
-g, --magnet
Print message digests formatted as magnet links.
--bsd Use BSD output format. Each message digest is printed on a separate line after hash function name
and file's path, enclosed in parentheses.
--simple
Use simple output format. Each line will consist of filename and message digests specified by
options.
--hex Print message digests in hexadecimal format.
--base32
Print message digests in Base32 format.
--base64
Print message digests in Base64 format.
--uppercase
Print message digests in upper case.
--lowercase
Print message digests in lower case.
--template=<file>
Read printf‐like template from given <file>. See the --printf option.
-p, --printf=<format>
Format: print format string the standard output, interpreting `\' escapes and `%' directives. The
escapes and directives are:
\n Newline.
\r Carriage return.
\t Horizontal tab.
\\ A literal backslash (`\').
\0 ASCII NUL.
\NNN The character which octal ASCII code is NNN.
\xNN The character which hexadecimal ASCII code is NN.
A `\' character followed by any other character is treated as an ordinary character, so they both
are printed.
%% A literal percent sign.
%p File's path.
%f File's name.
%u or %U
Prefix used to print a filename, file path or base64/raw message digest as an URL‐encoded

uppercase characters.
%s File's size in bytes.
%{mtime}
File's last modification time.
%a or %A

Use one of these prefixes to output a message digest in hexadecimal, base32, base64 or raw
(binary) format respectively, e.g. %b{md4}, %BH or %xT.
The default output format can also be changed by renaming the program or placing a hardlink/symlink to it

CONFIG FILE
RHash looks for a config file at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rhash/rhashrc, $HOME/.config/rhash/rhashrc,
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/rhash/rhashrc, $HOME/.rhashrc and /etc/rhashrc.
The config file consists of lines formatted as
variable = value
where the variable can be a name of any command line option, like magnet, printf, percents, etc. A
boolean variable can be set to true by a value `on', `yes' or `true', any other value sets the variable
to false.
Empty lines and lines starting with `#' or `;' are ignored.
Example config file:
# This is a comment line
percents = on
crc-accept = .sfv,.md5,.sha1,.sha256,.sha512,.tth,.magnet
