    The result is identical to that produced by the GNU commands
    `md5sum` and `sha1sum`.

+  - `--base16`\
+    Print the hash in a hexadecimal representation (default).
+
  - `--base32`\
    Print the hash in a base-32 representation rather than hexadecimal.
    This base-32 representation is more compact and can be used in Nix
    expressions (such as in calls to `fetchurl`).

+  - `--base64`\
+    Similar to --base32, but print the hash in a base-64 representation,
+    which is more compact than the base-32 one.
+
+  - `--sri`\
+    Print the hash in SRI format with base-64 encoding.
+    The type of hash algorithm will be prepended to the hash string,
+    followed by a hyphen (-) and the base-64 hash body.

  - `--truncate`\
    Truncate hashes longer than 160 bits (such as SHA-256) to 160 bits.

  passed the `--stdin` flag. This is primarily useful when you have a large amount of paths which
  exceed the OS arg limit.

+* The `nix-hash` command now supports Base64 and SRI. Use the flags `--base64`
+  or `--sri` to specify the format of output hash as Base64 or SRI, and `--to-base64`
+  or `--to-sri` to convert a hash to Base64 or SRI format, respectively.
+
+  As the choice of hash formats is no longer binary, the `--base16` flag is also added
+  to explicitly specify the Base16 format, which is still the default.
+
 * The special handling of an [installable](../command-ref/new-cli/nix.md#installables) with `.drv` suffix being interpreted as all of the given [store derivation](../glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation)'s output paths is removed, and instead taken as the literal store path that it represents.

  The new `^` syntax for store paths introduced in Nix 2.13 allows explicitly referencing output paths of a derivation.
