Code:
$ md5deep ~/public_html/
md5deep: /rc00/d05/vocab/public_html/: Is a directory
I think you wanted to try:
Code:
md5deep -r ~/public_html/*

Thanks DH. I guess I didn't turn up that wikipedia article in my searching, all I was finding was the online versions of the man pages. I did go ahead and try using md5deep on a directory, and it told me:
I suppose there's some other way to take advantage of that recursiveness. In any case, I'm only actually hashing strings with these programs at the moment so effectively, I can expect the deep versions to be equivalent to the nondeeps.
Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

"deep" is a package that uses hashing functions (such as md5 or sha256) and adds additional functionality to apply the hashing function to sets of data (such as files in subdirectories).
Quote
...deep can be invoked in several different ways. Typically users operate it recursively, where md5deep walks through one directory at a time giving digests of each file found, and recursing into any subdirectories within. Its recursive behavior is approximately a depth-first search, which has the benefit of presenting files in lexicographical order. On Unix-like systems, similar functionality can be often obtained by combining find with hashing utilities such as md5sum, sha256sum...

On Unices that I use, there's md5sum and md5deep and md5:
For sha, I see sha1sum and sha1deep, sha256sum and sha256deep, etc.
From what I can tell, there's no difference between the output of md5 and md5deep. And the "sum" versions just adds a " -". Can anyone let me know what's going on with these variants of these hashing tools?
Thanks in advance!
