# implantisomd5(1)

implant an MD5 checksum in an ISO9660 image

## NAME

implantisomd5 — implant an MD5 checksum in an ISO9660 image

## SYNOPSIS

**implantisomd5** \[**--force**\]  \[**--supported-iso**\]  \[isofilename\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **implantisomd5** command. **implantisomd5** is a program that embeds an MD5 checksum in an unused section of and ISO9660 (.iso) image.  This checksum can later be compared to the .iso, or a block device, using the corresponding **checkisomd5** command.

## OPTIONS

- **--force**

  Force an existing checksum to be overwritten.

- **--supported-iso**

  Indicate that the image will be written to a "supported" media, such as pressed CD.  On Red Hat-based Anaconda installers, this bypasses the prompt to check the CD.
