If B<md> is NULL, the digest is placed in a static +array. + +The following functions may be used if the message is not completely +stored in memory: + +MD2_Init() initializes a B<MD2_CTX> structure. + +MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to +be hashed (B<len> bytes at B<data>). + +MD2_Final() places the message digest in B<md>, which must have space +for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the B<MD2_CTX>. + +MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(), MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and +MD5_Final() are analogous using an B<MD4_CTX> and B<MD5_CTX> structure. + +Applications should use the higher level functions +L<EVP_DigestInit(3)|EVP_DigestInit(3)> +etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly. + +=head1 NOTE + +MD2, MD4, and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with existing +applications. In new applications, SHA-1 or RIPEMD-160 should be +preferred. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() return pointers to the hash value. + +MD2_Init(), MD2_Update(), MD2_Final(), MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(), +MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and MD5_Final() return 1 for +success, 0 otherwise. + +=head1 CONFORMING TO + +RFC 1319, RFC 1320, RFC 1321 + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L<sha(3)|sha(3)>, L<ripemd(3)|ripemd(3)>, L<EVP_DigestInit(3)|EVP_DigestInit(3)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +MD2(), MD2_Init(), MD2_Update() MD2_Final(), MD5(), MD5_Init(), +MD5_Update() and MD5_Final() are available in all versions of SSLeay +and OpenSSL. + +MD4(), MD4_Init(), and MD4_Update() are available in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and +above. + +=cut |
