Name

nix hash path - print cryptographic hash of the NAR serialisation of a path

Synopsis

nix hash path [/option/…] paths

Options

  • --algo hash-algo Hash algorithm (md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512).
  • --base16 Print the hash in base-16 format.
  • --base32 Print the hash in base-32 (Nix-specific) format.
  • --base64 Print the hash in base-64 format.
  • --format hash-format Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri). Default: sri.
  • --mode file-ingestion-method

    How to compute the hash of the input. One of:

    • nar (the default): Serialises the input as a Nix Archive and passes that to the hash function.
    • flat: Assumes that the input is a single file and directly passes it to the hash function.
  • --sri Print the hash in SRI format.
  • --type hash-algo Hash algorithm (md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512).

Logging-related options

  • --debug Set the logging verbosity level to ‘debug'.
  • --log-format format Set the format of log output; one of raw, internal-json, bar or bar-with-logs.
  • --print-build-logs / -L Print full build logs on standard error.
  • --quiet Decrease the logging verbosity level.
  • --verbose / -v Increase the logging verbosity level.

Miscellaneous global options

  • --help Show usage information.
  • --offline Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date.
  • --option name value Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).
  • --refresh Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.
  • --version Show version information. Note See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line flags.
