Data What is md5sum???

Hi all,

I am kinda puzzled. When and Why do we use md5sum? I've read man pages for mp5sum, but didn't get anything out of it. Please, can someone explain this to me in couple of words.

Thank you all.

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. OPTIONS
gst-md5sum accepts the following options: --help Print help synopsis and available FLAGS -v Output verbose information --gst-info-mask=FLAGS GStreamer info flags to set (list with --help) --gst-debug-mask=FLAGS GStreamer debugging flags to set (list with --help) --gst-mask=FLAGS GStreamer info and debugging flags to set (list with --help) --gst-plugin-spew GStreamer info flags to set Enable printout of errors while loading GStreamer plugins --gst-plugin-path=PATH Add directories separated with ':' to the plugin search path SEE ALSO
