!!!Check and compare files with a Mac in the Terminal app
There are different ways to check and compare files on a Mac in the Terminal app. We introduce just some, the user can work with:\\
\\
SHA-1:\\
shasum -a 1 file    ;   file: just drag & drop a file from any place directly to the line in the Terminal app.\\
\\
SHA-256:\\
shasum -a 256 file    ;   file: just drag & drop a file from any place directly to the line in the Terminal app.\\
\\
MD5:
md5 file    ;   file: just drag & drop a file from any place directly to the line in the Terminal app.\\
\\
To compare 2 files (DOS), try:\\
fc /b file1 file2 >log.txt   ;   in the log.txt (same directory) you get the results.\\
\\
on a Mac in the Terminal app:\\
cmp -l file1 file2
