Description
sha256sum appears to support the -b option, but the option is not documented in the --help output.
If the -b option is intentionally supported, could you please add it to the help message?
Steps to Reproduce
C:\Temp>sha256sum --version
sha256sum (uutils coreutils) 0.8.0
C:\Temp>sha256sum --help

Usage: sha256sum [OPTIONS] [FILE]...
Options:
-c, --check read checksums from the FILEs and check them
-w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines
--status don't output anything, status code shows success
--quiet don't print OK for each successfully verified file
