sha512sum [OPTION] [FILE]...
sha512sum [OPTION] --check [FILE]

Print or check SHA512 (512-bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

-b, --binary
	read files in binary mode (default on DOS/Windows)
-c, --check
	check SHA512 sums against given list
-t, --text	read files in text mode (default)

--status
	don’t output anything, status code shows success
-w, --warn	warn about improperly formated checksum lines
--help	display this help and exit
--version
	output version information and exit

The sums are computed as described in FIPS-180-2. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (‘*’ for binary, ‘ ’ for text), and name for each FILE.
