\fBxxhsum\fR \- print or check xxHash non\-cryptographic checksums

\fBxxh32sum\fR is equivalent to \fBxxhsum \-H0\fR, \fBxxh64sum\fR is equivalent to \fBxxhsum \-H1\fR, \fBxxh128sum\fR is equivalent to \fBxxhsum \-H2\fR\.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Print or check xxHash (32, 64 or 128 bits) checksums\. When no \fIFILE\fR, read standard input, except if it\'s the console\. When \fIFILE\fR is \fB\-\fR, read standard input even if it\'s the console\.

.P
\fBxxhsum\fR supports a command line syntax similar but not identical to md5sum(1)\. Differences are: \fBxxhsum\fR doesn\'t have text/binary mode switch (\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-t\fR); \fBxxhsum\fR always treats files as binary file; \fBxxhsum\fR has a hash selection switch (\fB\-H\fR);

.P
As xxHash is a fast non\-cryptographic checksum algorithm, \fBxxhsum\fR should not be used for security related purposes\.
.

\fBxxhsum \-b\fR invokes benchmark mode\. See \fIOPTIONS\fR and \fIEXAMPLES\fR for details\.

\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Displays xxhsum version and exits

\fB\-H\fR\fIHASHTYPE\fR
Hash selection\. \fIHASHTYPE\fR means \fB0\fR=XXH32, \fB1\fR=XXH64, \fB2\fR=XXH128, \fB3\fR=XXH3\. Note that \fB\-H3\fR triggers \fB\-\-tag\fR, which can\'t be skipped (this is to reduce risks of confusion with \fB\-H2\fR (\fBXXH64\fR))\. Alternatively, \fIHASHTYPE\fR \fB32\fR=XXH32, \fB64\fR=XXH64, \fB128\fR=XXH128\. Default value is \fB1\fR (XXH64)

Benchmark xxHash algorithm\. By default, \fBxxhsum\fR benchmarks xxHash main variants on a synthetic sample of 100 KB, and print results into standard output\. The first column is the algorithm, the second column is the source data size in bytes, the third column is the number of hashes generated per second (throughput), and finally the last column translates speed in megabytes per second\.

In the following example, the sample to hash is set to 16384 bytes, the variants to be benched are selected by their IDs, and each benchmark test is repeated 10 times, for increased accuracy\.
