+# b3sum
+
+A golang port of b3sum
+
+This is a simple `b3sum` command using `github.com/zeebo/blake3`.
+
+```
+Usage:
+  b3sum [flags] [file]...
+  -h	Prints help information
+  -l int
+    	The number of output bytes, prior to hex encoding (default 32)
+  -p int
+    	The maximum concurrency (defaults to the number of CPUs)
+```
+
+If no input files are specified, `b3sum` reads `stdin`.
+
