sha3sum − Print or Check SHA−3 Checksums
Usage: sha3sum
[OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print or check SHA−3 checksums.
With no FILE, or when FILE is −, read standard input.
−a, −−algorithm 224 (default), 256, 384,
512, 128000, 256000
−b, −−binary read in binary mode
−c, −−check read SHA−3 sums from the
FILEs and check them
−−tag create a BSD−style checksum
−t, −−text read in text mode (default)
−U, −−UNIVERSAL read in Universal Newlines
mode
produces same digest on Windows/Unix/Mac
−0, −−01 read in BITS mode
ASCII '0' interpreted as 0−bit,
ASCII '1' interpreted as 1−bit,
all other characters ignored
The following five options are useful only when verifying
checksums:
−−ignore−missing don't fail or report
status for missing files
−q, −−quiet don't print OK for each
successfully verified file
−s, −−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
−h, −−help display this help and exit
−v, −−version output version information
and exit
The sums are computed as described in the FIPS 202
SHA−3 submission.
When checking, the input should be a former output of this
program.
The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a
character
indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text, `U' for
UNIVERSAL,
`ˆ' for BITS), and name for each FILE. The line starts
with a `\'
character if the FILE name contains either newlines or
backslashes,
which are then replaced by the two−character sequences
`\n' and
`\\' respectively.

Running sha3sum is often the quickest way to compute SHA−3 message digests. The user simply feeds data to the script through files or standard input, and then collects the results from standard output.
The following command shows how to compute digests for typical inputs such as the NIST test vector "abc":
perl −e "print qq(abc)" | sha3sum
Or, if you want to use SHA3−256 instead of the default SHA3−224, simply say:
perl −e "print qq(abc)" | sha3sum −a 256
Unlike many other digest computation programs, sha3sum implements the full SHA−3 standard by allowing partial-byte inputs, which can be recognized through the BITS option (−0). The following example computes the SHA3−384 digest of the 7−bit message 0001100:
perl −e "print qq(0001100)" | sha3sum −0 −a 384

sha3sum is implemented using the Perl module Digest::SHA3.
