DIGEST(1)              DragonFly General Commands Manual             DIGEST(1)

NAME
     digest - calculate message digests

SYNOPSIS
     digest algorithm [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The digest utility calculates message digests of files or, if no file is
     specified, standard input.  The list of possible algorithms is:

     md5     the md5(3) algorithm will be used.

     rmd160  the rmd160(3) algorithm will be used.

     sha1    the sha1(3) algorithm will be used.

     sha256  the sha256 algorithm will be used.

     sha384  the sha384 algorithm will be used.

     sha512  the sha512 algorithm will be used.

     tiger   the tiger algorithm will be used.

     whirlpool
             the whirlpool algorithm will be used.

     The digest utility is a simple wrapper for the various different
     algorithm implementations, which are located in the standard C library,
     and was designed to be scalable as new message digest algorithms are
     developed.

     The digest utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
