md5-checksum

simple utility made in rust to create a 128-bit checksum/"hash" of any binary file or text
added functionality of bulk file checksumming

follows RFC 1321 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1321)

usage

run the binary with no arguments to create a checksum from STDIN:

luca@linux:/$ print 'hello world!' | ./md5-checksum
md5-checksum (stdin): c897d1410af8f2c74fba11b1db511e9e

run the binary with the file path(s) as arguments to create a checksum of the file(s):

luca@linux:/$ ./md5-checksum document.txt tests/data.bin
md5-checksum (document.txt): fc3ff98e8c6a0d3087d515c0473f8677
md5-checksum (data.bin): 02cefba0a1a831c1c289736c9aab8dd3
