Hi, I don't see any difference between the two md5sum commands (on Mac OS).
~/linux/test/gnu/gnu/coreutils/md5sum/--binary$ ./main.sh md5sum `which md5sum` which md5sum 02389bdcb510f7a2667f94c4264bebd8 /opt/local/libexec/gnubin/md5sum md5sum -b `which md5sum` which md5sum 02389bdcb510f7a2667f94c4264bebd8 */opt/local/libexec/gnubin/md5sum ~/linux/test/gnu/gnu/coreutils/md5sum/--binary$ cat main.sh #!/usr/bin/env bash set -v md5sum `which md5sum` md5sum -b `which md5sum` As mentioned at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html, the difference between --binary and default is only important on windows, right? -- Regards, Peng
