dircs

A small cross-platform utility to get the hash of a file or directory. Comes with a variety of hash functions to choose from.

Note: I mostly wrote this for personal use, and there might be a lot of rough edges! Feel free to submit pull requests or bug reports.

Installation

dircs is on crates.io and is installable using cargo:

bash cargo install dircs --locked

As of writing, dircs is built using Rust 1.69.0.

Usage

bash $ dircs /your/path/here /your/path/here -> 72ce3b5f2df28051cf7204712fe93de6b7b6d1f8e8fe5972b117a248423c290c

By default, dircs will use BLAKE3 with memmapping disabled, and an automatically chosen level of parallelism.

See more options by running dircs -h.

Supported hash functions

Currently, the following hash functions are supported:

• BLAKE3
• MD5
• SHA1
• SHA2 (digest sizes of 256, 384, 512)
• SHA3 (digest sizes of 256, 384, 512)
