# `filemd5` Function
|
|
|
|
`filemd5` is a variant of [`md5`](./md5.html)
|
|
that hashes the contents of a given file rather than a literal string.
|
|
|
|
This is similar to `md5(file(filename))`, but
|
|
because [`file`](./file.html) accepts only UTF-8 text it cannot be used to
|
|
create hashes for binary files.
