Appendice A. Script aggiuntivi
The md5sum program is documented as outputting three fields (and it
does), but when read it appears as two fields (array elements). This
is caused by the lack of whitespace between the second and third field.
So this function gropes the md5sum output and returns:
[0] 32 character checksum in hexidecimal (UCFS filename)
[1] Single character: ’ ’ text file, ’*’ binary file
[2] Filesystem (20th Century Style) name
Note: That name may be the character ’-’ indicating STDIN read.
