md5sum — compute and check MD5 message digest
md5sum [OPTION...] [FILE...]
Print or check MD5 (128−bit) checksums.
With no FILE, or when FILE is −, read standard input.
−b, −−binaryread in binary mode
−c, −−checkread MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them
−−tagcreate a BSD−style checksum
−t, −−textread in text mode (default)
−−quietdon't print OK for each successfully verified file
−−statusdon't output anything, status code shows success
−−strictexit non−zero for improperly formatted checksum lines
−w, −−warnwarn about improperly formatted checksum lines
−−helpdisplay this help and exit
−−versionoutput version information and exit
The sums are computed as described in RFC 1321. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant), and name for each FILE.
The MD5 algorithm should not be used any more for security related purposes. Instead, better use an SHA−2 algorithm, implemented in the programs sha224sum(1), sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1)
