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)
 

The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:

--ignore-missing
don't fail or report status for missing files
--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 space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is insignificant), and name for each FILE.  

BUGS

Do not use the MD5 algorithm for security related purposes. Instead, use an SHA-2 algorithm, implemented in the programs sha224sum(1), sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1), or the BLAKE2 algorithm, implemented in b2sum(1)
