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.
V2 changes:
- Various small fixes to previous patch set.
- Simplify b2sum specific code.
- Add support for `cksum -c` to infer the algorithm from tagged checksums.
This is pretty much ready to land now I think.
I hope to land it tomorrow.
There is a question though re default format to use for cksum -a.
I.e. should we use --tag format by default for cksum -a, as that
is now directly consumable by cksum -c.
If we did that though, we'd have to have the opposite option
for cksum, so something like `cksum --untagged` to produce
the traditional coreutils output format of "$hash $file".
I'm undecided.
cheers,
