file_hash

file_hash adds the SHA-1 and SHA-256 of each file to a listing. Turn it on when you need to compare files or check a download against a published hash. Directories stay bare.

Turn it on

# ~/.config/lla/config.toml
enabled_plugins = ["file_hash"]

Or run this once. It saves the same setting, so the plugin stays on until you run lla --disable-plugin file_hash.

lla --enable-plugin file_hash

Output appears in the default and long views (formats = ["default", "long"]), and in the table view, which uses the long format. The default view prints the first 8 characters of each hash, and the long view prints all of them.

The plugin adds two string fields, sha1 and sha256. They always hold the full hash. Use JSON in scripts, because the labels stay colored even with --no-color.

lla --json | jq -r '.[] | select(.name=="README.md") | .plugin.sha256'

You can also add them as columns. The plugin's block still prints with each row.

[formatters.table]
columns = ["name", "size", "field:sha256"]

Actions

lla plugin run file_hash help

help isn't interactive, so it works without a TTY. Running it also enables the plugin and saves that setting.

Example

lla

Settings

The plugin reads ~/.config/lla/plugins/file_hash/config.toml.

[colors]
sha1 = "bright_green"
sha256 = "bright_yellow"
 
[cache]
enabled = true
max_entries = 10000

The [colors] table also takes success, info and name. Hashes are cached in cache.toml in the same directory, keyed by path, size and modified time, so a changed file gets a new hash.
