Hello bug-coreutils,
I hope this is a correct reporting address. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
doen't seem to be working, yet. I also failed to subscribe to a (new)
mailing list via the standard [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
My suggestions for dcoumenting the --string option of md5sum in the
usage() message and the coreutils.texi are the following
(same for textutils 2.x):
* src/md5sum.c (usage): document --string option.

I leave it to a native speaker to enhance the texinfo text.
