Package: coreutils

Severity: wishlist

Hi,
I'm using md5sum in a shell script and I need to know wheter md5sum has
failed because a file can't be read or md5sum mismatch. However md5sum
exits always 1 regardless of the error. It would be useful to
differentiate, e.g:

1 - md5sum mismatch
2 - ENOENT
3 - ...

thanks,
filippo
