How do I get the MD5 hash of a string directly from the terminal?



For example, I want the string abcdefg hashed. Currently the md5sum command only accepts a filename as input. I want to simply enter the following line and everything be done with.



md5sum abcdefg

output: ac54bcf346e578feb46888b3ecd2344f


How can I achieve that?

You can also say something like this : 



~$ echo -n Welcome | md5sum

It basically does the same thing as described by @enzotib, but is perhaps a bit simpler.
