There is an old issue in the GridScripts repo:
sara-nl/GridScripts#3
This is a (slightly mislocated) request for an ada option to return the checksum cleanly, without any other output.
Currently, the format is:
filename ADLER32:xxxxx MD5SUM:xxxxxxxxxxx
Users sometimes want to get only the desired checksum and nothing else, to integrate in their workflow.
Currently the options are:
--checksum <file>
Show MD5/Adler32 checksums for file.
--checksum <directory> [--recursive]
Show MD5/Adler32 checksums for files in directory.
--checksum --from-file <file-list>
Show MD5/Adler32 checksums for files in the list.
We could change the first option to:
--checksum <file> [--adler32|--md5]
Show MD5/Adler32 checksums for file.
If --adler32 or --md5 is specified, only print that
specific checksum, and nothing else.
