See the "-a" option to cksum(1). or Type "apropos sha256" at the prompt, pick something that looks promising (e.g., SHA256_Init) and open its man page. Don't get dejected if the first thing you try isn't what you might have hoped to see. Take a peek at the "SEE ALSO" section of the man page for something that looks promising. Continue as necessary. The first works in this case, but the second (supported by the FAQ, the various mailing list archives and a bit of patience) seems to work pretty much all the time (mutatis mutandis). At least it does on OpenBSD.
