11541949788444589007  .travis.yml
6467850080536788703   bin/xxhashdir.go
...

typical CLI use:

./xxhashdir dir > before
# modify fs
./xxhashdir dir > after
diff <(sort before) <(sort after) | sort -nk3

Speed

Times faster than find + exec. Digesting xcode-10.2 with >250K files:

Time Cmd
656 sec time find /Applications/Xcode.app -type f -exec xxhsum {} ; > xxhsum.txt
88 sec time find /Applications/Xcode.app -type f -exec xxhsum {} + > xxhsum.txt
45 sec time ./xxhashdir /Applications/Xcode.app > xxhsumdir.txt
