+sha is a simple program that hashes files. It uses the National
+Institute of Standards and Technology's Secure Hash Algorithm.
+It can use SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512, which generate
+respectively, hashes of 160, 256, 384, or 512 bits. sha can be
+used in scripts to do, for example, file integrity checking.
