For example, the following command will use sha256 generate a code from the 64 bit Manjaro XFCE 0.8.1 ISO. The code generated can then be compared to the code provided by the appropriate sha256 checksum file: | For example, the following command will use sha256 to generate a code from the 64 bit Manjaro XFCE 0.8.1 ISO.

A very positively reviewed free checksum utility you may wish to consider is the '''[http://raylin.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/md5-sha-1-checksum-utility/ MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility]'''. | |||
{{note|If you do decide to use the ''MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility'', then you will only be able to use the code provided by the '''-sha1''' checksum file for your ISO. This utility does not support using sha256.}} | |||
