Calculate SHA512 cryptographic checksums

• Calculate the SHA512 checksum for file(s) or files in a directory, one checksum per file

sha512sum {{filename1}} sha512sum {{filename1}} {{filename2}} sha512sum {{directory/\*}}

• Read a file of SHA512 sums and verify all files have matching checksums

sha512sum -c {{filename.sha512}}
