MD5SUM(1) User Commands MD5SUM(1)
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 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 for‐
mer output of this program. The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a charac‐
ter 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)
