Manual page for md5sum 9.1

Usage

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

Overview

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 checksums from the FILEs and check them

--tag: create a BSD-style checksum

-t, --text: read in text mode (default)

-z, --zero: end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable file name escaping

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.

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