.SH "NAME"
gst\-md5sum \- get an md5sum of a GStreamer pipeline through md5sink
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBgst\-md5sum\fR \fI[OPTION...]\fR PARTIAL\-PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP 
\fIgst\-md5sum\fP generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by
a GStreamer pipeline.

In theory, running

	gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3

should print out the same checksum as

	md5sum music.mp3
  
If the pipeline contains an md5sink element, gst-md5sum will query it
for the md5sum at the end of pipeline iteration.

If it doesn't contain an md5sink element, gst-md5sum will automatically
connect an md5sink to the right hand side of the given pipeline.

See the man page for gst\-launch or the GStreamer docuementation for 
more information on how to create a PARTIAL\-PIPELINE\-DESCRIPTION.
