A simple tool for recursively hashing directories written in rust

hashdir

hashdir is a command-line tool for recursively hashing files in a specified directory using various hashing algorithms written in rust.

Usage

Command-line Arguments

• path: The directory path to read files from.
• --quiet or -q: Run in quiet mode without progress indicators. Default is false.
• --algorithm or -a: The hashing algorithm to use. Options are Sha256, Sha512, and Md5. Default is Sha256.

Example Commands

# Compute SHA-256 hash for all files in the "example_directory"
hashdir path/to/example_directory

# Compute MD5 hash for all files in the "example_directory" with quiet mode
hashdir path/to/example_directory -q -a Md5

What It Does

• Recursively reads all files from the specified directory.
• Computes their hash values using the specified algorithm.
• Displays progress indicators unless quiet mode is enabled.
• Outputs the final hash value after processing all files.
