Name¶

nix hash convert - convert between hash formats

Synopsis¶

nix hash convert [option…] hashes…

Examples¶

•

Convert a hash to nix32 (a base-32 encoding with a Nix-specific character set).

$ nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 --to nix32 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df

•

Convert a hash to the sri format that includes an algorithm specification:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df
sha1-gA1Zz808BekAy04hS+SPa4hqCN8=

or with an explicit --to format:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha1 --to sri 800d59cfcd3c05e900cb4e214be48f6b886a08df
sha1-gA1Zz808BekAy04hS+SPa4hqCN8=

•

Assert the input format of the hash:

# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 --from nix32 ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=
error: input hash 'ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=' does not have the expected format '--from nix32'
# nix hash convert --hash-algo sha256 --from nix32 1b8m03r63zqhnjf7l5wnldhh7c134ap5vpj0850ymkq1iyzicy5s
sha256-ungWv48Bz+pBQUDeXa4iI7ADYaOWF3qctBD/YfIAFa0=

Description¶

nix hash convert converts hashes from one encoding to another.

Options¶

•

--from hash-format

Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri).

•

--hash-algo hash-algo

Hash algorithm (md5, sha1, sha256, or sha512). Can be omitted for SRI hashes.

•

--to hash-format

Hash format (base16, nix32, base64, sri). Default: sri.
