Question: trying to match hashes using sha256 (apparently I don't have sha2-256)

Simple question. What is the unix command to create this hash from you example?
# sha2-256 0x12 - sha2-256("multihash")

I'm having trouble finding a match:
echo -n multihash | sha256sum

Even the length is different. I assume sha256sum is not sha2 ?? The ultimate goal is to hash in JavaScript and match an IPFS link. Thank you..
