NAME

       digestion.pl - A perl script to create a digest over one or more fields
       in a tab delimited list


SYNOPSIS

       digestion.pl [ -h ] [ -i [input file] ] [ -o [output file] ]
       [ -f [field1;field2;...;fieldn] ] [ -s [field1;field2;...;fieldn] ]


DESCRIPTION

       digestion.pl iterates over a tab delimited list and creates a MD5
       digest over arbitrary fields in that list. It's output is by default
       the same list only with the MD5 digest appended to the end of the line,
       separated by a tab. Arbitrary fields in the input can be omitted from
       the output using the -d option. The purpose of this script is
       generating MD5 digests suitable for newusers.pl(8) and
       hunter-seeker.pl(8).

       -i [input file]
            Read input from input file or stdin if "-".

       -o [output file]
            Write output to output file or stdout if "-".

       -f [field1;field2;...;fieldn]
            Create digest over these fields in the input file. Defaults to
            fields 1 and 3 (counting from zero).

       -d [field1;field2;...;fieldn]
            Omit these fields in output.


FILES

               list_raw        Default input filename
               list_digested   Default output filename
