NAME
       xymondigest - calculate message digests

SYNOPSIS
       xymondigest md5|sha1|sha256|sha512|sha224|sha384|rmd160 [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       xymondigest(1)  is a utility to calculate message digests for a file or
       document. It is used when defining HTTP-	or FTP-based  content  checks,
       where  xymonnet(1)  checks  that	a URL returns a	specific document; in-
       stead of	having to compare the entire document, the comparison is  done
       against	a  pre-computed	message	digest value using the MD5, RIPEMD160,
       SHA1 or any of the SHA2 (SHA-512, SHA-256,  SHA-384,  SHA-224)  message
       digest algorithms.

       The  optional filename parameter	is the input file whose	message	digest
       should be calculated; if	no filename is given, the data	is  read  from
       standard	input.

       xymondigest  outputs  a	string containing the digest algorithm and the
       computed	message	digest.	This is	in a format suitable for  use  in  the
       hosts.cfg(5) definition of a content check.

EXAMPLE
	  $ xymondigest	md5 index.html
	  md5:88b81b110a85c83db56a939caa2e2cf6

	  $ curl -s http://www.foo.com/	| xymondigest sha1
	  sha1:e5c69784cb971680e2c7380138e04021a20a45a2
