Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.4
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/md5sum
Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to implement a filter mode for
md5sum, where md5sum would read standard input, send the same data
to standard output and write the md5 of the input at the end on
standard error. That would be helpful when dealing with huge files you
generate on the fly, such as CD/DVD images.
Regards,
Vincent Fourmond
PS: if you think that it would be a valuable addition, I probably
could implement it.
