NAME
jacksum - computes checksums, CRCs and message digests
SYNOPSIS
jacksum [OPTIONS]... [FILE]...
java -jar /usr/share/java/jacksum.jar [OPTIONS]... [FILE]...
java -cp /usr/share/java/jacksum.jar Jacksum [OPTIONS]... [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
Jacksum is a free and platform independent utility for computing and
verifying checksums, CRCs and hashes (message digests) as well as
timestamps of files. Jacksum is written entirely in Java. A Java
Runtime Environment (JRE), at least version 1.3.1 or any equivalent JRE
is required. At least JRE 1.4.2 is recommended.
The following parameters are supported:
file a path name of a file to be checked. Wildcards are supported.
They depend on the shell you are running. With no file, or when
the file is character "-", standard input is read.
The following options are supported:
-a algo
the algorithm, default is sha-1 since Jacksum 1.0.0, see also
-A. Algorithms can be combinded by the plus character, e. g.
"sha1+crc32", "bsd+crc24+xor8". If you specify "-a all" all
supported algorithms are used, see also -F. As soon as "all" or
a plus character is used, the output is normalized with a hex
checksum and a decimal filesize. Examples: "sha+", "md5+".
Feature available since Jacksum 1.7.0, see also -A, -F.
-A Alternate. By default Jacksum uses algorithms provided by the
Java API if available, because those are optimized by the JVM
vendor, they usually provide very good performance. If -A is
set, Jacksum uses an alternate, pure Java implementation of an
algorithm (if available). Actually, Jacksum supports alternate
implementations for the following algorithms: adler32, crc32,
md5, sha-1, sha-256, sha-384, sha-512 since Jacksum 1.5.0, see
also -a.
-c list
checks the integrity against a given list. The list is usually a
former output of Jacksum, ideally created with option -m. You
can also check against a list which was created by a different
application. In this case, you need to specify all parameters
which are necessary to produce the same output. The parameter -F
will be ignored. To exclude files, just remove lines from the
list. Feature available since Jacksum 1.3.0, see also -l -I and
-m.
-d directories (regular) only. Don’t follow symbolic links on
Linux/Unix. A symbolic link from a subfolder to a parent folder
could cause endless loops under Unix/Linux while recursively
traversing the tree. If this option is set, symbolic links to
directories will be ignored. This option will be ignored under
Windows. Feature available since Jacksum 1.5.0, See also -r.
-e seq expectation. A sequence for the calculation is expected. Works
with a file, standard input or option -q. Returns OK (exit code
0) or MISMATCH (exit code 1). Available since Jacksum 1.4.0.
Works also with multiple files or directories to find
duplicates, in which case all findings are printed out. The
sequence can be specified either case sensitive or case
insensitive, except if Base 64 encoding (by -E) has been
specified. Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -a, -q, -E,
-x and -X.
-E encoding
encoding. The checksum can be encoded:
bin Binary
dec Decimal
oct Octal
hex Hexadecimal in lowercase (same as -x)
hexup Hexadecimal in uppercase (same as -X)
base16 Base 16 (as defined by RFC 3548)
base32 Base 32 (as defined by RFC 3548)
base64 Base 64 (as defined by RFC 3548)
bb BubbleBabble (used by OpenSSH and SSH2)
available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -x and -X.
-f process files only, this option suppresses the messages "... Is a
directory" and " ... Is not a regular file". Available since
Jacksum 1.0.0, see also -V.
-F format
Set a customizable output format to overwrite the default.
Available since Jacksum 1.5.0, if not other specified, see also
-a, -E, -g, -G, -p, -P, -s, -t, -x, -X.
#ALGONAME will be replaced by the name of the algorithm
#ALGONAME{i} see also #CHECKSUM{i}
#CHECKSUM will be replaced by the hash, CRC or sum value
(depends on -a, -b, -g, -G, -x, -X)
#CHECKSUM{i} If the character called + has been used to
separate multiple algorithms at option -a, the
token will be replaced with the checksum. The
token is indexed by a number. If you use the
character called i rather than a number, it
works like an automatic index. (1.6)
#FILENAME will be replaced by the filename and path (depends
on -p and -P)
#FILENAME{NAME} will be replaced by the filename (1.5)
#FILENAME{PATH} will be replaced by the filepath (1.5)
#FILESIZE will be replaced by the filesize
#FINGERPRINT is an alias for #CHECKSUM
#SEPARATOR will be replaced by the separator which you can
specify with -s
#TIMESTAMP will be replaced by the timestamp (depends on -t)
#QUOTE will be replaced by one quote char (")
-g count
group the hex output for the checksum in "count" bytes for
better readability. Only valid if encoding is hex or hexup.
Groups are separated by a blank or by the character specified by
-G. The value for count must be greater than 0. Available since
Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -E, -G, -x and -X -G char group
character. Only valid if encoding is hexadecimal and -g has been
set.
-h [lang] [section]
print help, valid codes for "lang" are "en" or "de", default is
"en"; valid values for "section" are strings like headers or
options. See section EXAMPLES for more information. Available
since Jacksum 1.0.0, parameter section since Jacksum 1.6.0, see
also -v.
-I string
ignore. While creating a list by -m or reading a list by -c,
lines are ignored if they start with the specified string.
Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -c and -m.
-l list. Just list files which were modified or deleted. In
combination with -c only. Available since Jacksum 1.4.0, see
also -c.
-m print metainfo. Additional lines will be printed. With the
metainfo available you can check files against a given list
without the need to specify a lot of commandline parameters.
Any customized format you can normally specify with -F are
ignored. Available since Jacksum 1.3.0, see also -c.
-o file
output. The output of the program goes to a file rather than the
standard output. The program exits with a warning if the file
exists. The file which is specified by -o is excluded from the
calculation process. Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -O,
-u and -U.
-O file
output. Same as -o, however an existing file will be overwritten
without any warning. See also -U. Available since Jacksum 1.6.0,
see also -o, -u and -U.
-p path. Put the path info on each line, instead of printing a
header for each directory while processing folders recursively
(-r). With this option the output will increase, but on the flip
side it will be much easier to sort or grep the lines with
corresponding programs. Available since Jacksum 1.4.0, see also
-F, -P, -r and -w.
-P char
path separator. By default, the system-dependent default file
name separator character is used. On Unix systems the character
is the slash (/), on Microsoft Windows systems it is the back
slash (\). You can change the default if a special output format
for filenames (such as HTML links) is required. Available since
Jacksum 1.5.0, see also -F and -p.
-q [type:]seq
process a sequence quickly and quit the program. The type can be
used to specify the type of the sequence (text, hexadecimal or
decimal):
txt:Example1
hex:4578616D706C6531
dec:69,120,97,109,112,108,101,49
4578616D706C6531
If type is not set, the seq is expected to be in hex form. If
type is set to "txt", the platform’s default charset will be
used to interpret the sequence called seq. Available since
Jacksum 1.3.0 (hex only), type since 1.5.0.
-r process subdirectory recursively (without a file parameter the
current directory is used). Available since Jacksum 1.0.0, see
also -p and -w.
-s sep a custom separator string (\t, \n, \r, \", \’ and \\ will be
translated). The default value depends on the checksum
algorithm. Available since Jacksum 1.0.0, see also -F.
-S summary. This calculates just one checksum value. All files, the
directory structures, the filenames and timestamps (if
requested) are part of that checksum. See also -w. Available
since Jacksum 1.5.0, see also -r and -w.
-t form
a timestamp format. Java’s formatter class SimpleDateFormat will
be used. Valid characters are
G Era designator
y Year
M Month in year
w Week in year
W Week in month
D Day in year
d Day in month
F Day of week in month
E Day in week
a AM/PM marker
H Hour in day (0-23)
k Hour in day (1-24)
K Hour in am/pm (0-11)
h Hour in am/pm (1-12)
m Minute in hour
s Second in minute
S Millisecond
z Time zone, general
Z Time zone, RFC 822
If form is set to the word "default", timestamps will be
formatted with "yyyyMMddHHmmss". since Jacksum 1.3.0
#SEPARATOR will be replaced by the separator which you
can specify with -s
#QUOTE will be replaced by one quote char (")
Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -F.
-u file
ugly, undesirable, unforeseen, uninvited. Any error messages of
the program is redirected to a file rather than the standard
error. The program exits if the file exists. The file which is
specified by -u is excluded from the calculation process.
Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -U, -o and -O.
-U file
ugly, undesirable, unforeseen, uninvited. Same as -u, however an
existing file will be overwritten without any warning. See also
-O. Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -u, -o and -O.
-v version. Prints the product version and exits. Available since
Jacksum 1.2.0, see also -h.
-V control
verbose. Prints additional information. If -V is the only
parameter it behaves like -v. "control" can be one of the
following keywords which must be separated by a comma:
details | nodetails Errors with or without details
warnings | nowarnings Warnings or no warnings
summary | nosummary Summary at the end or not
If control is set to "default", control is set to
"details,warnings,nosummary". Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see
also -f and -v.
-w The file parameter (the last parameter) is intended to be the
working directory. This allows to create relative path names
rather than absolute ones. Only valid if the file parameter is a
directory. Available since Jacksum 1.6.0, see also -r and -S.
-x lowercase hex output for the checksum, it is an alias for -E
hex. Available since Jacksum 1.1.0, see also -E.
-X uppercase hex output for the checksum, it is an alias for -E
hexup. Available since Jacksum 1.1.0, see also -E.

crc:<params>
algorithm:
CRC
length:
8..64 bits
type:
crc
since:
Jacksum 1.7.0
comment:
With this generic CRC you can specify all CRC-
algorithms which can be described by the famous
"Rocksoft (tm) Model CRC Algorithm".
<params> must have 6 values, which must be
separated by a comma. Those are:
width,poly,init,refIn,refOut,xorOut
width - width of the crc, expressed in bits.
This is one less than the width of
the poly.
poly - the polynomial, specify as hex
The top bit of the poly should be
omitted. For example, if the poly is
10110, you should specify 06. An
important aspect of this parameter
is that it represents the unreflected
poly; the bottom bit of this parameter
is always the LSB of the divisor
during the division regardless of
whether the algorithm being modelled
is reflected.
init - this parameter specifies the initial
value of the register when the
algorithm starts. Specify as hex.
refIn - this is a boolean parameter. If it
is false, input bytes are processed
with bit 7 being treated as the most
significant bit (MSB) and bit 0 being
treated as the least significant bit.
If this parameter is false, each byte
is reflected before being processed.
true or false
refOut - this is a boolean parameter. If it is
set to false, the final value in the
register is fed into the xorOut stage
directly, otherwise, if this parameter
is true, the final register value is
reflected first.
xorOut - this value is XORed to the final
register value (after the refOut)
stage before the value is returned as
the official checksum, specify as hex

since:
Jacksum 1.7.0
comment:
invented by Ralph Merkle, 1979. A hash tree is a
tree of hashes in which the leaves are hashes of
data blocks. By default the tree hash is encoded
base32. Jacksum allows to calculate the root
hash of the hash tree, the following agorithms
are supported with hash trees: tiger, tiger2
Tiger tree hashes are used in P2P file sharing
protocols and applications.

"Recently [March 11, 2003], Shirai and Shibutani
discovered a flaw in the Whirlpool diffusion
matrix that made its branch number suboptimal.
Although this flaw per se does not seem to
introduce an effective vulnerability, the
present document replaces that matrix

comment:
the standard algorithm CRC-32 (cyclic
redundancy check) is specified in ISO 3309,
ISO/IEC 13239:2002 and ITU-T V.42, and it
is used by PKZip, gzip, png, Ethernet, FDDI,
and WEP. That algorithm is also known as FCS
(frame checking sequence)
An alternate implementation is available (-A).
- under BeOS there is no crc32
- under FreeBSD it is /usr/bin/cksum -o 3
- under HP-UX there is no crc32
- under Linux there is no crc32

this algorithm implements the MPEG
specification of the CRC-32 calculation
The output format of Jacksum:
If you don’t specify a customized format with option -F, the
following format is used:
<checksum><sep><filesize><sep>[<timestamp><sep>]<filename>
checksum
is a checksum, CRC or a fingerprint; output depends on options
-a and -x, resp. -X
sep is a separator; it can be modified by -s, otherwise it depends
on -a and -m
filesize
is the size (bytes or blocks) of a file, it depends on -a, the
filesize won’t be written by any MessageDigest-algorithm
timestamp
is an optional timestamp of a file; timestamps can be requested
with -t
filename
is a filename, paths can be part of the output, output depends
on -p and -P.
EXIT STATUS
0 - everthing is OK
1 - there was at least one mismatch during the verification process
>1 - in case of a parameter-, .jacksum- or I/O-error
EXAMPLES
jacksum -a crc32 -q "txt:Hello World!"
calculates a 32-bit CRC of the text "Hello World!"
jacksum -a crc32 -q 48656C6C6F20576F726C6421
calculates a 32-bit CRC of the hex sequence
48656C6C6F20576F726C6421 which represents "Hello World!"
jacksum -a crc32 -x *.txt
calculates a 32 bit CRC of all textfiles within the current
folder. The checksum will be printed in a hexadecimal format (-x).
jacksum -a crc32 -f -t default .
not only CRCs will be printed, but also timestamps (-t) of all
files within the current folder (.). The message "is a directory" will
be suppressed (-f).
jacksum -f -a crc:16,1021,FFFF,false,false,0 .
a CRC with customized parameters has been used: 16 Bit, Polynomial
1021 (hex, without the leading bit), initvalue FFFF (hex), mirror
neither the input nor the output, no xor.
jacksum -a haval_256_5 .
calculates a 256 bit hash with 5 rounds by using the haval
algorithm (haval_256_5) of all files within the current folder (.).
jacksum -a sha1 -s "\t" -t "EEE, MMM d, yyyy ’at’ h:mm a" .
calculates a 160 bit SHA-1 Message-Digest of all files within the
current folder. The separator string (-s) is set to the tabulator char
("\t"). Timestamps of files will be printed out in a customized format
(-t).
jacksum -a cksum -r /mnt/share
calculates a 32 bit CRC with the standard Unix-algorithm cksum of
all files /mnt/share and it’s subfolders (-r)
jacksum -a md5 -f -r -m -o list.jacksum /data
