This patch set refactors all digest implementations
to their own modules, all interfaced through digest.c.
All file operations and diagnostics are done in digest.c.
All digests are made available through `cksum -a`.
Also we add support for SM3 through `cksum -a sm3` only.
Might be nice if there was something like "-a list-available" to see
what algorithms are available without parsing the --help output.
That's pretty much supported already in the argmatch functionality.
I.e. if you use `cksum -a list-available`, the list of possibilities are
printed.
I generally use that feature like:
$ cksum --algo=
cksum: ambiguous argument ‘’ for ‘--algorithm’
Valid arguments are:
- ‘bsd’
- ‘sysv’
- ‘crc’
- ‘md5’
- ‘sha1’
- ‘sha224’
- ‘sha256’
- ‘sha384’
- ‘sha512’
- ‘blake2b’
- ‘sm3’
Try 'cksum --help' for more information.
cheers,
