md5:tldr:59b27

The command md5 ${filename} is used to generate the MD5 hash value for a given file.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

• md5: This is the command-line utility used to calculate the MD5 hash value.
• ${filename}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the file you want to calculate the MD5 hash for. You would replace ${filename} with the name of the file you want to process. It could be a relative or absolute path to the file.

When you run this command, the MD5 algorithm will read the contents of the specified file and compute a unique 128-bit hash value representing the file's contents. This hash value can be useful for verifying the integrity of the file or comparing it with other files to see if they are identical or different.

Note that depending on the operating system and the available tools, md5 may need to be replaced with a similar command like md5sum on Linux or certutil -hashfile on Windows.
