        Usually, this function is used to test binary files or large text files
        which cannot be tested in some other way. Text files can be usually
        tested by some finer method.

        To test text files with this function, you should always use parameter
        *text* set to ``True``. Note that function ``checkers.text_file_md5()``
        offers additional parameters which might be advantageous when testing
        text files.

        The typical workflow is that you create a file in a way you
        trust (that you obtain the right file). Then you compute MD5
        sum of the file. And provide the sum in a test as a string::

            self.assertFileMd5('result.png', md5='807bba4ffa...')

        Use `file_md5()` function from this package::

            file_md5('original_result.png')

        Or in command line, use ``md5sum`` command if available:

        .. code-block:: sh

            md5sum some_file.png

        Finally, you can use Python ``hashlib`` to obtain MD5::

            import hashlib
            hasher = hashlib.md5()
            # expecting the file to fit into memory
            hasher.update(open('original_result.png', 'rb').read())
            hasher.hexdigest()

        .. note:
            For text files, always create MD5 sum using ``\n`` (LF)
            as newline characters for consistency. Also use newline
            at the end of file (as for example, Git or PEP8 requires).
