       md5sum does not accept standard options like --help.
Wrong.

However, there is no way to get it to cough up its version number.

Nor who to send bugs to, the man page not saying explicitly either.

BTW,
       -c     Check md5sum of all files listed in file against the checksum  
listed  in  the
              same  file.  The  actual  format of that file is the same as 
output of md5sum.
              That is, each line in the file describes a file. A line looks 
like:
I'd say
 -c [lfile]   Check md5sum of all files listed in lfile against the checksum  
listed  in  the
              same  lfile.  The  actual  format of lfile is the same as output 
of md5sum.
              That is, each line in lfile describes a file. A line looks like:
and
SYNOPSIS
       md5sum [-bv] [-c [lfile]] | [file...]
