Bug ID: 276915
Summary: FreeBSD md5sum doesn't accept '-' as stdin
Product: Base System
Version: 14.0-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
GNU md5sum accepts the following with identical semantics:
echo "foo" | md5sum
echo "foo" | md5sum -
FreeBSD md5sum rejects the second, because it looks for a file named "-". This
trips up scripts that rely on the GNU behaviour. Since the FreeBSD md5sum is
meant to be compatible to the GNU counterpart, it would be great if the
behaviour could be changed!
Thank you very much!
