The filemd5 function computes the MD5 hash of the contents of
|

a given file and encodes it as hex.

# `filemd5` Function
|
|
|
|
`filemd5` is a variant of [`md5`](../../language/functions/md5.mdx)
|
|
that hashes the contents of a given file rather than a literal string.
|
|
|
|
This is similar to `md5(file(filename))`, but
|
|
because [`file`](../../language/functions/file.mdx) accepts only UTF-8 text it cannot be used to
|
|
create hashes for binary files.
|
|
|
|
Collision attacks have been successfully performed against this hashing
|
|
function. Before using this function for anything security-sensitive, refer to
|
|
[RFC 6151](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6151) for updated security
|
|
considerations applying to the MD5 algorithm.
