.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP 
\fIgst\-md5sum\fP is a tool that is used to get an md5 sum of 
a basic \fIGStreamer\fP pipeline.

In theory, running

 gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3

should print out the same md5sum as

  md5sum music.mp3

Make sure the pipeline given is a partial one, to which a sink still
needs to be connected.

See other docs, examples, and the source for description on how to
create a PARTIAL\-PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION.
