digest calculates a message digest, in your case SHA256. On linux you can get this by using the command:sha256sum You can either give it a filename as argument, or pipe information into it (which means if you just give the command, it will read what you type until you hit Ctrl+D)On Ubuntu this command is available from the coreutils package.
