FUNCTION:

Creates or checks the md5 message digest over a memory area

SYNTAX:

where:

md5sum

command

<data-address> parameter: hexadecimal

start address of memory area

<length>

parameter: hexadecimal
length of memory area

<cksum-address> parameter:

if present: compares the calculated md5 message
digest with the md5 message digest available at this
address

if absent: calculates the md5 message digest over the
specified memory range and prints it to the console

DESCRIPTION:

This command is used to create or check the md5 message digest over
a memory area.

If the optional 3

rd

parameter <checksum-address> is omitted, the md5

message digest is calculated over the specified memory range and
printed to the console.

If the optional 3

rd

parameter <checksum-address> is specified, the md5

message digest is calculated over the specified memory range and
compared with the md5 message digest at <cksum-address>. If the
digest is identical, the command returns 0; if the digests do not match, a
value other than zero is returned. When a comparison is made, nothing
is printed to the console since this usage of the command is meant to be
used within scripts.

The md5 message digest at <cksum-address> may be specified in
ASCII or binary format.

USAGE:

Calculate an md5 message digest
