The sums are computed as described in RFC 1321. When checking,
the input should be a former output of this program. The default mode is
to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary,
` ' for text), and name for each FILE.

The full documentation for md5sum is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
If the info and md5sum programs are properly installed at your site, the
command
- info md5sum
should give you access to the complete manual.
