NAME

md5sum − compute and check MD5 message digest

SYNOPSIS

md5sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

Print or check MD5 (128−bit) checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is −, read standard input.
−b
, −−binary

read in binary mode

−c, −−check

read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them

−−tag

create a BSD−style checksum

−t, −−text

read in text mode (default)

Note: There is no difference between binary and text mode option on GNU system.

The following four options are useful only when verifying checksums:
−−quiet

don’t print OK for each successfully verified file

−−status

don’t output anything, status code shows success

−−strict

exit non−zero for improperly formatted checksum lines

−w, −−warn

warn about improperly formatted checksum lines

−−help

display this help and exit

−−version

output 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 character indicating input mode (’*’ for binary, space for text), and name for each FILE.

BUGS

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)
