MD5

Introduction

md5 is a simple program with a simple purpose: to compute MD5 checksums for files and print them out. MD5 is a very good way to uniquely identify files – the chance of two different files having the same MD5 sums is extremely remote.

Instructions

Give a list of filenames as arguments – MD5 sums for all the files will be computed, and printed out for you.

For example:

adam@phat:~/src/libutl/apps/md5> ./md5 /etc/passwd /bin/false /bin/sh
