-.TH MD5SUM 1 "11 February 1995" "Linux 1.0" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
-.SH NAME
-md5sum \- generate/check MD5 message digests
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.BR "md5sum [" \-bv "] [" \-c
-.BR "[ " file " ] ]"
-.br
-.BR "md5sum " file " ..."
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B md5sum
-generates and checks MD5 message digests, as described in RFC-1321. 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. Print file names when checking.
-.TP
-.B \-b
-Read files in binary mode (otherwise, end-of-file conventions will be
-ignored).
-.SH HISTOY
-The
-.B md5sum
-program was written by Branko Lankester and may be freely distributed. 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. (Equivalent code is also
-available from RSA Data Security, Inc.)
