+=head1 NAME
+
+RIPEMD160, RIPEMD160_Init, RIPEMD160_Update, RIPEMD160_Final -
+RIPEMD-160 hash function
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ripemd.h>
+
+ unsigned char *RIPEMD160(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,
+                  unsigned char *md);
+
+ int RIPEMD160_Init(RIPEMD160_CTX *c);
+ int RIPEMD160_Update(RIPEMD_CTX *c, const void *data,
+                  unsigned long len);
+ int RIPEMD160_Final(unsigned char *md, RIPEMD160_CTX *c);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+RIPEMD-160 is a cryptographic hash function with a
+160 bit output.
+
+RIPEMD160() computes the RIPEMD-160 message digest of the B<n>
+bytes at B<d> and places it in B<md> (which must have space for
+RIPEMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 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:
+
+RIPEMD160_Init() initializes a B<RIPEMD160_CTX> structure.
+
+RIPEMD160_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
+be hashed (B<len> bytes at B<data>).
+
+RIPEMD160_Final() places the message digest in B<md>, which must have
+space for RIPEMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH == 20 bytes of output, and erases
+the B<RIPEMD160_CTX>.
+
+Applications should use the higher level functions
+L<EVP_DigestInit(3)|EVP_DigestInit(3)> etc. instead of calling the
+hash functions directly.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+RIPEMD160() returns a pointer to the hash value. 
+
+RIPEMD160_Init(), RIPEMD160_Update() and RIPEMD160_Final() return 1 for
+success, 0 otherwise.

+=head1 HISTORY
+
+RIPEMD160(), RIPEMD160_Init(), RIPEMD160_Update() and
+RIPEMD160_Final() are available since SSLeay 0.9.0.
