NAME

       sha1sum - compute and check SHA1 message digest

SYNOPSIS

       sha1sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       Print or check SHA1 (160-bit) checksums.

       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       -b, --binary
	      read in binary mode

       -c, --check
	      read SHA1 sums from the FILEs and check them

       --tag  create a BSD-style checksum

       -t, --text
	      read in text mode (default)

   The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
       --ignore-missing
	      don't fail or report status for missing files

       --quiet
	      don't print OK for each successfully verified file

       --status
	      don't output anything, status code shows success

       --strict
	      exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines

       -w, --warn
	      warn about improperly formatted checksum lines

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       The sums are computed as described in FIPS-180-1.  When checking, the input should be a former output of this program.  The default mode is
       to print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is  insignificant),
       and name for each FILE.

BUGS

       Do  not	use the SHA-1 algorithm for security related purposes.	Instead, use an SHA-2 algorithm, implemented in the programs sha224sum(1),
       sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1), or the BLAKE2 algorithm, implemented in b2sum(1)
