.SH NAME
md5sum \- compute and check MD5 message digest
.SH SYNOPSIS
.TP
\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-text\fR
read in text mode (default)
+.TP
+\fB\-z\fR, \fB\-\-zero\fR
+end each output line with NUL, not newline,

should be a former output of this program. The default mode is to print a
line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary,
\&' ' for text or where binary is insignificant), and name for each FILE.
+.PP
+Note: There is no difference between binary mode and text mode on GNU systems.
.SH BUGS
-The MD5 algorithm should not be used any more for security related purposes.
-Instead, better use an SHA\-2 algorithm, implemented in the programs
-sha224sum(1), sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1)
+Do not use the MD5 algorithm for security related purposes.
+Instead, use an SHA\-2 algorithm, implemented in the programs
+sha224sum(1), sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1),
+or the BLAKE2 algorithm, implemented in b2sum(1)
