NAME

       parrot_md5  -  returns  the  MD5  checksum  of  a  file, generated on the remote system if
       possible.

SYNOPSIS

       parrot_md5 <path>

DESCRIPTION

       parrot_md5 returns the MD5 checksum of the file stored at <path>.  If possible it calls  a
       native  function  of the remote system to get the checksum, without requiring the transfer
       of the file's contents to the user's machine.  If the  filesystem  does  not  support  the
       checksum  function  internally,  it  is  computed  by the user-level program in the normal
       fashion.

OPTIONS

       parrot_md5 has no options.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, returns zero.  On failure, returns non-zero.

EXAMPLES

       To retrieve the MD5 checksum of a file stored on a chirp server:

               % parrot_run parrot_md5 /chirp/server.nd.edu/joe/data
                    d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e data
