64.1.3 DESCRIPTION (upstream)

This is md5deep, a set of cross-platform tools to compute hashes, or message digests, for any number of files while optionally recursively digging through the directory structure. It can also take a list of known hashes and display the filenames of input files whose hashes either do or do not match any of the known hashes. This version supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, Tiger, and Whirlpool hashes. See the file NEWS for a list of changes between releases. See the file COPYING for information about the licensing for this program. See the file INSTALL for (generic) compilation and installation instructions. Here’s the short version that should just work in many cases:
