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 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.

BUGS
       Do  not	use the MD5 algorithm for security related purposes.  Instead,
       use an SHA-2  algorithm,	 implemented  in  the  programs	 sha224sum(1),
       sha256sum(1),  sha384sum(1),  sha512sum(1),  or	the  BLAKE2 algorithm,
       implemented in b2sum(1)
