NAME

     Digest::base - Digest base class

SYNOPSIS

       package Digest::Foo;
       use base 'Digest::base';

DESCRIPTION

     The "Digest::base" class provide implementations of the
     methods "addfile" and "add_bits" in terms of "add", and of
     the methods "hexdigest" and "b64digest" in terms of "dig-
     est".

     Digest implementations might want to inherit from this class
     to get this implementations of the alternative add and dig-
     est methods. A minimal subclass needs to implement the fol-
     lowing methods by itself:

         new
         clone
         add
         digest

     The arguments and expected behaviour of these methods are
     described in Digest.
