NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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

-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.

--file-list=<file>

Process given file as a file-list. Lines of this file are interpreted as paths to files to be processed. Multiple file lists can be specified at command line.

-m, --message=<text>

Calculate message digests of the given text message.

--follow

Follow symbolic links when processing files or directories recursively.

-v, --verbose

Be verbose.

-P, --percents

Show percents, while calculating or checking sums

--skip-ok

Don't print OK messages for successfully verified files.

-i, --ignore-case

Ignore case of filenames when updating crc files.

--speed

Print per-file and the total processing speed.

-e, --embed-crc

Rename files by inserting crc32 sum into name.

--embed-crc-delimiter=<delimiter>

Insert specified <delimiter> before a crc sum in the --embed-crc mode, default is white space. The <delimiter> can be a character or empty string.

--path-separator=<separator>

Use specified path separator to display paths.

-q, --accept=<list>

Set a comma‐delimited list of extensions of the files to process.

--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

--bt-piece-length

--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.

The default output format can also be changed by renaming the program or placing a hardlink/symlink to it with a filename containing strings `crc32', `crc32c', `md4', `md5', `sha1', `sha224' `sha256', `sha384' `sha512', `sha3-256', `sha3-512', `sha3-224', `sha3-384', `tiger', `tth', `btih', `aich', `ed2k', `ed2k-link', `gost12-256', `gost12-512', `gost94', `gost94-cryptopro', `rmd160', `has160', `whirlpool', `edonr256', `edonr512', `blake2s', `blake2b', `snefru128', `snefru256', `sfv' , `bsd' or `magnet'.

CONFIG FILE

The config file consists of lines formatted as

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
