DESCRIPTION

44       MD2, MD4, and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a 128 bit
45       output.
46
47       MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() compute the MD2, MD4, and MD5 message digest of
48       the n bytes at d and place it in md (which must have space for
49       MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes
50       of output). If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array.
51
52       The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
53       stored in memory:
54
55       MD2_Init() initializes a MD2_CTX structure.
56
57       MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be
58       hashed (len bytes at data).
59
60       MD2_Final() places the message digest in md, which must have space for
61       MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the MD2_CTX.
62
63       MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(), MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and
64       MD5_Final() are analogous using an MD4_CTX and MD5_CTX structure.
65
66       Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3)
67       etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.
68

NOTE

70       MD2, MD4, and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with existing
71       applications. In new applications, SHA-1 or RIPEMD-160 should be
72       preferred.
73

RETURN VALUES

75       MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() return pointers to the hash value.
76
77       MD2_Init(), MD2_Update(), MD2_Final(), MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(),
78       MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and MD5_Final() return 1 for
79       success, 0 otherwise.
