md5sum - compute and check MD5 message digest

       Written by Ulrich Drepper, Scott Miller, and David Madore.

       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)

       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

   Thefollowingfiveoptionsareusefulonlywhenverifyingchecksums:--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.

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