As it says above currently I'm using md5sum for my checking of files since it's the fastest algorithm out there currently that lets me do that. I would like it if xxhsum would be able to do similar system, with a -c option and that would greatly speed up things for me. As at the moment I'm pretty sure all it does is hash the file but no way to check a file against a hash without using something else.

I believe this request is equivalent to #21.
This is a legitimate request, I'm just lacking time and concentration to do it.

The request can be divided into 2 parts :

make xxhsum compatible with wildcard characters, so that it can produce the hash of multiple files. This part can probably be done from inside xxhsum. It will likely be more efficient than repetitively calling xxhsum from an external script
-c check option : this one is a bit more complex to do. Nothing huge, just more complex.
Scripts from @beckermr can certainly help for such a task.
Sure, it offers a different user experience from xxhsum -c.
But that's still plenty useful while -c option is unavailable.
