      unsigned char *MD5(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,
                       unsigned char *md);

      void MD5_Init(MD5_CTX *c);
      void MD5_Update(MD5_CTX *c, const void *data,

DESCRIPTION

     MD2, MD4, and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a
     128 bit output.

     MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() compute the MD2, MD4, and MD5 mes-
     sage digest of the n bytes at d and place it in md (which
     must have space for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH
     == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output). If 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 MD2_CTX structure.

MD5(3)                       OpenSSL                       MD5(3)

     MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the
     message to be hashed (len bytes at data).

     MD2_Final() places the message digest in md, which must have
     space for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and
     erases the MD2_CTX.

     MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(), MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(),
     MD5_Update(), and MD5_Final() are analogous using an MD4_CTX
     and MD5_CTX structure.

     Applications should use the higher level functions
     EVP_DigestInit(3) etc. instead of calling the hash functions
     directly.

NOTE

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

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() do not return values.
