Could you please add a test to make sure we don't regress in the future? Thanks |

@sylvestre is there a plan to merge this? Just worried about having to add any changes from main to this branch as well if they're kept apart long |

Fix all hashsum utilities (md5sum, b2sum, sha256sum, etc.) to display their actual name in help output instead of generic 'hashsum --<digest>'. Override help_template and usage for specific utilities while preserving the original hashsum behavior for the generic multicall case. Add test to verify help output shows correct utility names and prevent future regression. Fixes uutils#8614
