VERIFY SHA256SUM

Verify that a provided sha256sum hash matches for a single file.

DESCRIPTION

This is an action to verify the sha256sum 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-sha256sum@rcalixte that just calculates and displays the sha256sum hash. This requires user input before proceeding further. The input hash will be automatically converted to the equivalent lower case for comparison.

DEPENDENCIES

The following programs must be installed and available:

• gettext for translations in the action's script
• sha256sum to calculate the hash of file
• xenity to display dialogs including the result
