NAME

       gst-md5sum - get an md5sum of a GStreamer pipeline through md5sink

SYNOPSIS

       gst-md5sum [OPTION...] PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

       gst-md5sum generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by a GStreamer pipeline.

       In theory, running

	    gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3

       should print out the same checksum as

	    md5sum music.mp3

       The  pipeline  should  be  incomplete,  that  is, a final sink element should be omitted, so that gst-md5sum can connect the pipeline to an
       md5sink element.

       See the man page for gst-launch or the GStreamer docuementation for more information on how to create a PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION.
