I'm unsure of which command hash-sum is,    I meant every hash sum that 
uses mechanism in digest.c, and is called XYZsum, namely 
md5/sha1/sha256/...sum.   but I note that toybox has been  using -b (brief) in 
md5sum through sha3sum for 10 years now:   In coreutils XXXsum - stands for 
--binary [1].  In OpenBSD [2] it stands for base64, in FreeBSD [3] --binary.   
You seem to talk about something else than coreutils.   -   1.  www.man7.org
