it might be nice to display the list of algorithms when an unsupported
algorithm is chosen, e.g.
$ cksum -a foo
cksum: unknown algorithm "foo", available algorithms:
cksum, md4, md5, rmd160, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, sum, sysvsum.
usage: cksum [-bpqrtx] [-a algorithms] [-c [checklist ...]] [-o 1 | 2]
[-s string] [file ...]
