md5i is an MD5 file integrity checker software that verifies the integrity of files.
The md5i software only computes the MD5 sum if the "last modified" timestamp of the file has changed since the last run, unless the -nomtime option is used. This option ignores file timestamps. The usage of this software involves using various options such as -db, -v, -nomtime, -updatedb, -scan, -check, and -alwaysignore.
The program allows the user to specify a file to store the file data, including the default option of ~/.md5database. The -v option provides progress information, and the -updatedb option updates the database instead of creating a new one. The scan options include the ability to specify a directory to scan and all its sub-directories.
The check options allow the user to check all files in a specified directory and its sub-directories. The -alwaysignore option is useful when the user wants to skip prompt alerts for modified files and only report and ignore them. Overall, md5i is a useful tool for file integrity checking and ensures file consistency.
