md5sum -- Compute and Check MD5 Check sums.

Summary:

`md5sum' computes a 128-bit checksum/fingerprint/message-digest for
each specified file.  `md5sum' can also determine whether a file &
checksum are consistent.

Example:

$ md5sum file -- Compute and print the MD5 checksum of that file.

$ md5sum -c input.txt -- Read checksum and filename from the file and 
                         validate checksums.

$ md5sum -w -c input.txt -- Same as above and warn if the checksums 
                            format is wrong in the file.

$ md5sum --status -c input.txt -- Indicate the status in exit status 
                                  code.
