What is blakesum FOR MAC?

Blakesum

Blakesum is a cool, free, and open-source tool for your Mac that helps you calculate the BLAKE-256 or BLAKE-224 checksums for any file. If you're wondering what a checksum is, it's basically a way to check if your files are safe and haven't been messed with!

How Does Blakesum Work?

When you use Blakesum, it usually calculates the BLAKE-256 sum by default. But if you need to calculate the BLAKE-224 sum instead, just add the option "-224" before your file names. Super easy!

Using Blakesum with Files

If you don't specify any filenames when you run the command, it will read from stdin. This means you can pipe in data directly into it.
