VERIFY SHA512SUM

Verify that a provided sha512sum hash matches for a single file.

DESCRIPTION

This is an action to verify the sha512sum for a specific file, provided an input hash for comparison purposes. This is particularly useful for verifying ISOs for example.

This is a different action from calculate-sha512sum@rcalixte that just calculates and displays the sha512sum hash. This requires user input before proceeding further.

DEPENDENCIES

The following programs must be installed and available:

• gettext for translations in the action's script
• sha512sum to calculate the hash of file
• zenity to display dialogs including the result
