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 character indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for
text), and name for each FILE.
The full documentation for
md5sum is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the
info and
md5sum programs are properly installed at your site, the command
info coreutils md5sum
