Re: New option for md5sum

$ md5sum /dev/null | awk '{print$1}'
And there are many other ways:
# using the field option of cut:
$ md5sum /dev/null | src/cut -d ' ' -f 1

$ md5sum /dev/null | sed 's/ .*$//'
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
etc.
Therefore 80:20 against a new option from me, too.
Have a nice day,

The first proposed option using indirection does.
If that's awkward from a programmatic context,
then in such a context it would be trivial
(albeit not obvious) to strip.
