            Bug ID: 247295
           Summary: sha256 -c with stdin always exits 0
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sega01@go-beyond.org

sha256 (and its cousins) have a -c argument to validate against a given
checksum. This works fine on files. Example:

$ echo test > file
$ sha256 file
SHA256 (file) =3D
f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2
$ sha256 -c f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2
file; echo $?
SHA256 (file) =3D
f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2
0
$ sha256 -c dead1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26be=
ef
file; echo $?
SHA256 (file) =3D
f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2 [ Failed ]

However, stdin appears to either be always positive or false positive:

$ cat file | sha256
f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2
$ cat file | sha256 -c
f2ca1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc26fd2; echo $?
0
$ cat file | sha256 -c
dead1bb6c7e907d06dafe4687e579fce76b37e4e93b7605022da52e6ccc2beef; echo $?
0

I think that sha256 -c should give an error or warning with stdin since it =
is
not handled properly, or preferably function as expected. It would be easy =
to
be misled by the current behavior.

Please let me know if you need anything else from me. Thank you!
