Hello.
Recently I tried to verify the md5sums of a few files using md5sum -c.
The md5 file was created in Windows and therefore it contained CR+LF as
the end-of-line character. md5sum threw up an error saying it could not
find the files mentioned. Apparently it thought the CR char is also part
of the filename since it is searching only for LF (per *nix convention)
as the EOL char. It worked however after I changed the EOL char using my
editor.
I feel that md5sum should be aware of different end-of-line conventions
and not throw up such errors.
Thank you.
Shriramana Sharma.
