Command Line Interface

chbs

Generate one or more random passphrases.

Usage:

chbs [--sep SEP] [n_words] [count]

• n_words: Number of words per passphrase (default: 4)

• count: Number of passphrases to generate (default: 1)

• --sep SEP: Separator between words (default: space)

Examples:

$ chbs
reckla poachard peristerophily abstractor

$ chbs 6
uncarnate plainstanes statutably drabler unemotive irrespectively

$ chbs 3 5
aeroyacht trumpets costrel
thymelaeales adiate desilicified
henries minesweeper stillery
interjectional predazzite untediously
nabataean phonetist speisses

chbssum

Generate or check file hashes. It has the same interface as sha256sum.

Usage:

chbssum [-b | -t] [-n N] [--sep SEP] [-c [--ignore-missing] [--quiet] [--status]] [file ...]

If no files are given, or when - is specified, reads from standard input. The filename is separated from the hash words by two whitespaces.

Options:

• -b, --binary: read in binary mode

• -t, --text: read in text mode (default)

• -n N: number of words in the hash (default: 4)

• --sep SEP: separator between words (default: space)

• -c, --check: read checksums from the FILEs and check them

The following options are useful only when verifying checksums:

• --ignore-missing: don’t fail or report status for missing files

• --quiet: don’t print OK for each successfully verified file

• --status: don’t output anything, status code shows success

When checking, the number of words is inferred from each line in the checksums file.

Examples:

$ chbssum myfile.txt
wob demonstrations rhinoderma behaviorist  myfile.txt

$ echo -n "hello world" | chbssum
wob demonstrations rhinoderma behaviorist  -

$ chbssum file1.txt file2.txt
repulsor hellenophile soloing desired  file1.txt
wob demonstrations rhinoderma behaviorist  file2.txt

$ chbssum file1.txt file2.txt > checksums.txt
$ chbssum -c checksums.txt
file1.txt: OK
file2.txt: OK
