Description

Per-block SHA512 checksums can be calculated for files or block devices. It is useful for advanced users who need to compare storage blocks, inspect data integrity, or troubleshoot disk-level changes.

This is a command-line checksum tool. Reading block devices may require elevated permissions, and device paths must be chosen carefully to avoid checking the wrong disk.
