-b

read in binary mode

-c

read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them

--tag

create a BSD-style checksum

-t

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 about improperly formatted checksum lines

--help

display this help and exit

--version

output version information and exitThe sums are computed as described in RFC 1321. When checking, the input should be a former output of this program. The defaultmode is to print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary isinsignificant), and name for each FILE.BUGSDo not use the MD5 algorithm for security related purposes. Instead, use an SHA-2 algorithm, implemented in the programssha224sum(1), sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1), or the BLAKE2 algorithm, implemented in b2sum(1)AUTHORWritten by Ulrich Drepper, Scott Miller, and David Madore.REPORTING BUGSGNU coreutils online help: <http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/>Report md5sum translation bugs to <http://translationproject.org/team/>COPYRIGHTCopyright © 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
