            Bug ID: 213007
           Summary: [patch] sbin/md5/md5.{c,1} make '-c' flag also work
                    with stdin, add '-P' flag to print digest to stderr
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT

                OS: Any

Created attachment 175182

=3Dedit
sbin/md5/md5.c patch to apply '-c' to stdin input and add '-P' which outputs
digest to stderr

I thought that extending '-c' to also verify digest, if it was passed from
STDIN, would be useful and allow using md5 in pipeline. For similar reasons=
 I
added option '-P', which resembles '-p', only digest is output to STDERR.

I recently had been writing 11.0-RCx images to USB flash several times, I
started to use pipeline, which fetches and writes image to USB flash direct=
ly,
without intermediately storing it on computer. This, however, means that
checksum verification was not straight forward.
