md5sum
Calculate MD5 cryptographic checksums. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/md5sum.
- Calculate the MD5 checksum for one or more files:
md5sum {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
- Calculate and save the list of MD5 checksums to a file:
md5sum {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/file.md5}}
- Calculate an MD5 checksum from
stdin
:
{{command}} | md5sum
- Read a file of MD5 checksums and filenames and verify all files have matching checksums:
md5sum --check {{path/to/file.md5}}
- Only show a message for missing files or when verification fails:
md5sum --check --quiet {{path/to/file.md5}}
- Only show a message when verification fails, ignoring missing files:
md5sum --ignore-missing --check --quiet {{path/to/file.md5}}
- Check a known MD5 checksum of a file:
echo {{known_md5_checksum_of_the_file}} {{path/to/file}} | md5sum --check
