+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+MD2, MD4, and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a 128 bit output.
+
+MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() compute the MD2, MD4, and MD5 message digest
+of the B<n> bytes at B<d> and place it in B<md> (which must have space
+for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16
+bytes of output). 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.
