The -"message digest" produced can be thought of as a 128-bit "signature" of the -input file. Typically, -.B md5sum -is used to verify the integrity of files made available for distribution -via anonymous ftp (for example, announcements for new versions of -.BR irc(1) -usually contain MD5 signatures). -.P -Message digests for a tree of files can be generated with a command similar -to the following: -.RS -.sp -find . -type f -print | xargs md5sum -.sp -.RE -The output of this command is suitable as input for the -.B \-c -option. -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.BI "\-c [" file "]" -Check message digests. Input is taken from -.B stdin -or from the spcified -.IR file . -The input should be in the same format as the output generated by -.BR md5sum . -.TP -.B \-v -Verbose.

The -original source code is in the MIT PGP 2.6.2 distribution. Those concerned -about the integrity of this version should obtain the original sources and -compile their own version. -.PP -The underlying implementation of Ron Rivest's MD5 algorithm was written by -Colin Plumb and is in the Public Domain.
