Calculate a cryptohash on a file or standard input.
The digest utility calculates message digests of files or, if no file is specified, standard input. The set of supported digests depends on the current Python interpreter and the version of OpenSSL present on the system. However, at a minimum, digest supports the following algorithms:
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| Argument | Algorithm |
+=============+======================================+
| md5 | The MD5 algorithm |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| sha1 | The SHA-1 algorithm |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| sha224 | The SHA-224 algorithm |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| sha256 | The SHA-256 algorithm |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| sha384 | The SHA-384 algorithm |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| sha512 | The SHA-512 algorithm |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
