Hello, I'd like to ask your advice, to verify that my command is correct.
I'm trying to calculate sha256 checksum on many files, in parallel. A contrived example would be: $ find /path/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -P5 -n1 stdbuf -oL sha256sum > 1.txt Which would run at most 5 processes of "sha256sum", and the output of all would be the file 1.txt. Is it correct to assume that because "sha256sum" prints one line per file, and "stdbuf -oL" makes it line-buffered, that the content in "1.txt" will be valid (i.e. no inter-mixed lines from different processes) ? Thanks, - gordon
