sharing STDOUT in multiple sha256sum processes

Hello,

I'd like to ask your advice, to verify that my command is correct.

I'm trying to calculate sha256 checksum on many files, in parallel.

A contrived example would be:
$ find /path/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -P5 -n1 stdbuf -oL sha256sum > 1.txt

Which would run at most 5 processes of "sha256sum",
and the output of all would be the file 1.txt.

Is it correct to assume that because "sha256sum" prints one line per file, and 
"stdbuf -oL" makes it line-buffered,
that the content in "1.txt" will be valid (i.e. no inter-mixed lines from 
different processes) ?

Thanks,
 - gordon
