At a glance
| Purpose | A checksum list (sha256sum, md5sum, sha1sum, sha512sum output): a digest and a file name per line. |
| Extensions | .sha256sum |
| Poka parser | poka-checksum |
| Viewer | poka-table-viewer |
| Depth tier | Parser with a shared viewer (see Depth tiers) |
| Breadth tier | B2 Broad (see Breadth tiers) |
How much Poka reads
B2 Broad. The common content of the current and the common older versions is decoded. Some named features or versions are not, and are listed.
Confidence: medium (the reviewer read the code). Basis: Reviewed 2026-10-26: read parsers/poka-checksum/src/main.rs (176 lines) and plugin.json. No unit tests or tests/samples.rs; the corpus has no .sha256sum, .md5sum, .sha1sum, .sha512sum and .sums sample. Covers .sha256sum, .md5sum, .sha1sum, .sha512sum and .sums. The table lists every entry with algorithm (from the digest length), digest, binary or text mode and file name. Judgement: B2: every entry is shown; the gaps are limits, redaction by design and fields left raw.
What Poka does not read
- Digests are not checked against any file (the files are not available)
- BSD-style lines (SHA256 (file) = digest) are not read (judgement from the code)
- Only the first 2,000 entries are listed
