SHA256SUM

This is a terrible, yet functional and correct, implementation of sha256sum using POSIX shell and utilities. I wrote it out of curiosity, and to learn a little more about what existing utilities are capable of.

It is incredibly slow, needing about 4 seconds per KiB on my system.

$ echo "foo" >/tmp/foo; echo "bar" >/tmp/bar
$ ./sha256sum.sh /tmp/foo /tmp/bar

$ sha256sum /tmp/foo /tmp/bar
