+@section Invoking @command{guix hash}
+
+The @command{guix hash} command allows to check the integrity of a file.
+It is primarily a convenience tool for anyone contributing to the
+distribution: it computes the cryptographic hash of a file, which can be
+used in the definition of a package (@pxref{Defining Packages}).
+
+The general syntax is:
+
+@example
+guix hash @var{option} @var{file}
+@end example
+
+@command{guix hash} has the following option:
+
+@table @code
+
+@item --format=@var{fmt}
+@itemx -f @var{fmt}
+Write the hash in the given format.
+
+Supported formats: @code{nix-base32}, @code{base32}, @code{base16}
+(@code{hex} and @code{hexadecimal} can be used as well).
+
+If the @option{--format} option is not specified, @command{guix hash}
+will output the hash in @code{nix-base32}. This representation is used
+in the definitions of packages.
