I created picca, a Rust binary and library that can read and hash multiple files at once. There are a few ways you can use it: - Adding picca as a crate to your project - Using the main picca binary to hash in any algorithm you wish - Using standalone binaries that can only hash one algorithm, similar to UNIX core utilities, and potentially be replacements for them.

This utility helps speed up needing to hash or verify files by reading many files as you want at a time. It especially speeds up processing when using single-threaded algorithms like SHA256, and using fast-ish storage.

I've been working on it for the last year in my free time and recently released v1.0. I'm hoping people will find it useful!
