Quick reference for <code>sha1sum</code>, a tool to compute and verify SHA-1 checksums.
SHA-1 is considered weak for modern security; use it mostly for legacy compatibility, not new designs.
</p>
<h2>Basic usage</h2>
<ul>
<li><code>sha1sum file.img</code> print SHA-1 hash and filename.</li>
<li><code>sha1sum file1 file2</code> hash multiple files.</li>
<li><code>echo -n "test" | sha1sum</code> hash data from stdin.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Common options</h2>
<ul>
<li><code>-b</code> read files in binary mode (default on Linux).</li>
<li><code>-t</code> read files in text mode (mainly for non-Unix systems).</li>
<li><code>-c</code> check SHA-1 sums from a file.</li>
<li><code>--tag</code> create BSD-style output (<code>SHA1 (file) = hash</code>).</li>
</ul>
<h2>Creating and verifying checksum files</h2>
<ul>
<li><code>sha1sum file.img > file.img.sha1</code> save checksum.</li>
<li><code>sha1sum file1 file2 > checksums.sha1</code> create checksum list.</li>
<li><code>sha1sum -c file.img.sha1</code> verify a single file.</li>
<li><code>sha1sum -c checksums.sha1</code> verify multiple files.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Tips</h2>
<ul>
<li>Prefer <code>sha256sum</code> or <code>sha512sum</code> for security-sensitive uses.</li>
<li>Use SHA-1 mainly when you must match existing ecosystems or published hashes.</li>
<li>Keep checksum files alongside downloads so users can verify integrity easily.</li>
</ul>
