Linux md5sum 命令
通过 Linux 的 md5sum命令,可以对指定的文件,计算出唯一的一个MD5值(128bit)。
通过比较文件前后的MD5值,可以判断文件是否发生变化(是否被修改过)。
1、md5sum 命令使用方式(通过md5sum --help查看):
Usage: md5sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Print or check MD5 (128-bit) checksums.
With no FILE, or when FILE is-, read standard input.-b, --binary read inbinary mode-c, --check read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them--tag create a BSD-style checksum-t, --text read intext mode (default)
Note: There is no difference between binary and text mode option on GNU system.
The following four options are useful only when verifying checksums:--quiet don't print OK for each successfully verified file
--status don't output anything, status code shows success
--strict exit non-zero forimproperly formatted checksum lines-w, --warn warn about improperly formatted checksum lines--help display this help and exit--version output version information and exit
The sums are computed as describedin 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 input mode ('*' forbinary,
spacefor text), and name foreach FILE.

2、计算一个文件的 MD5 值
1)新建一个文件test.txt,内容为 Hello, md5sum.
使用如下命令,生成改文件对应的MD5 值:
md5sum test.txt > md5.out
2)此时会在当前目录下看到生成的 md5.out 文件
3)查看改文件对应的 MD5 值
cat md5.out
4)使用如下命令,比较文件的 MD5 值是否发生变化
md5sum -c md5.out
5)当修改test.txt 文件,增加 Modify 单词,再次对比 MD5 值,会发现不一致
6)BSD格式查看 MD5 值
md5sum --tag md5.out
