DESCRIPTION

38       MD2, MD4, and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a 128 bit
39       output.
40
41       MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() compute the MD2, MD4, and MD5 message digest of
42       the n bytes at d and place it in md (which must have space for
43       MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes
44       of output). If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array.
45
46       The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
47       stored in memory:
48
49       MD2_Init() initializes a MD2_CTX structure.
50
51       MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be
52       hashed (len bytes at data).
53
54       MD2_Final() places the message digest in md, which must have space for
55       MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the MD2_CTX.
56
57       MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(), MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and
58       MD5_Final() are analogous using an MD4_CTX and MD5_CTX structure.
59
60       Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3)
61       etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.
62

NOTE

64       MD2, MD4, and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with existing
65       applications. In new applications, SHA-1 or RIPEMD-160 should be
66       preferred.
67

RETURN VALUES

69       MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() return pointers to the hash value.
70
71       MD2_Init(), MD2_Update(), MD2_Final(), MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(),
72       MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and MD5_Final() return 1 for
73       success, 0 otherwise.
