md5is
A command line tool to check if a calculated md5 hash matches an expected value. Only tested on OSX.
Why?
This was simpler than wrestling with my limited bash "knowledge".
Installation
This is an NPM package, Node.js is a prerequisite.
$ npm install --g md5is
Use
Type md5is <filename> <[expected_md5]>
on the command line, the hash will
either be confirmed as correct or flagged as incorrect.
If the expected_md5 is omitted, then it will report the hash. For example,
md5is gimp-2.8.14.dmg 3392eb2cfe67258e7a3f8fc8807f00c0
All good!
md5is gimp-2.8.14.dmg
The hash of gimp-2.8.14.dmg is 3392eb2cfe67258e7a3f8fc8807f00c0
