When copying a huge file over a slow link, I wanted to check, if the already downloaded part is correct by computing the digests on both sides. Doing so from command line is rather hard right now, and requires the use of split(1) on both ends, which is not always feasible due to file-sizes. If md5(1) already had the begin and end options, I could've simply used them to process only part of the initial portions of the file on each machine. Fix: The patch -- against HEAD -- can be found at http://aldan.algebra.com/~mi/tmp/md5-offsets.patch It also corrects the utility to fail with an exit-code specified by sysexits(3), rather than with an arbitrary 1. Also, asking for help (with the -h option) causes it to print the usage message and then exit with 0.
