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, −−binary
read in binary mode
−c, −−check
read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them
−t, −−text
read 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 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 type (’*’ for binary, ’ ’ for text), and name for each FILE.
