NAME

mdigest - calculate a message digest

SYNOPSIS

mdigest -a algorithm [ options ] [ file1 ... filen ]

mdigest reads the files from the argument list and computes a message digest hash for the file content. If the argument list is empty mdigest reads from standard in.

OPTIONS

All options can be abbreviated by their first letter.

-a algorithm

Specified the message digest hash algorithm to use.

-l

Lists the available message digest hash algorithms. This list may depend on the platform and the compiler that was used to create the binary.

-help

Prints a short summary of the mdigest(1) options and exists.

-verbose

Verbose output. Includes the message digest hash algorithm name in the output.

-version

Prints the mdigest(1) version number string and exists.

NOTES

If you call mdigest with no file type arguments, it will compute the digest for stdin.
