✨ md5sum(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up era of your terminal 💅 This is the manual page for md5sum, living under the General Commands Manual umbrella. If you've ever been like "is this file the same file or is it lying to me," congrats, you're in the right place 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

md5sum — print or check the MD5 checksums 🧚

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

md5sum [-c|--check] [-w|--warn] [--status] [--quiet] [--ignore-missing]
[--strict] [--tag] [-t|--text] [-z|--zero] [-h|--help] [-V|--version]
[file]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Print or check the MD5 checksums. That's the whole vibe, no cap — either you're generating a checksum, or you're checking one. Iconic behaviour either way ✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -c, --check — read checksums from the FILEs and check them. Like, actually verify them. Main character energy 🔥
• -w, --warn — warn about improperly formatted checksum lines. Not me being the group chat's designated proofreader 💀
• --status — don't output anything at all; the status code is the whole story. Silent but it ate 🤫
• --quiet — don't print OK for each successfully verified file. We're keeping it lowkey ✨
• --ignore-missing — don't fail or report status for missing files. Ghosting them, respectfully 🙈
• --strict — exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines. Zero tolerance, periodt 💅
• --tag — create a BSD style checksum. Fancy formatting moment 🎀
• -t, --text — read in text mode (this is the default, so it's the standard vibe) 🦋
• -z, --zero — end each output line with NUL, not newline, and disable file name escaping. Ngl this one is giving "scripting bestie" 🔥
• -h, --help — print help. Always there for you 🫶
• -V, --version — print version. Know your roots 💜
