Man page for md5(1)

[bytevolcano]

For md5(1) (and therefore, sha1(1), sha256(1), sha512(1)), the man page
has this:

"-q  Only print the checksum (quiet mode)."

Since this has the same behaviour as "cksum -q", would it be best to
keep it in line with it:

"-q Only print the checksum (quiet mode) or if used in
conjunction with the -c flag, only print the failed cases."
