The command <code>md5</code> calculates an unique string for each input given as

argument using the <i>md5</i> algorithm.

md5 [flags] [arg1] [arg2]
|
|
</pre>
|

|
Where [flags] are the (optional) md5 flags, read below for more info,

|
and [arg1], [arg2] are the path for files or string (depending on the flags).
