NAME
md5sum - compute and check MD5 message digest
SYNOPSIS
md5sum [OPTION] [FILE]...
md5sum [OPTION] --check [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
Print or check MD5 checksums. With no FILE, or when FILE is
-, read standard input.
-b, --binary
read files in binary mode (default on DOS/Windows)
-c, --check
check MD5 sums against given list
-t, --text
read files in text mode (default)
The following two options are useful only when verifying
checksums:
--status
don't output anything, status code shows success
-w, --warn
warn about improperly formated MD5 checksum lines
--help

--version

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 type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text),
and name for each FILE.
