.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
MD2, MD4, and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a 128 bit output.
.PP
\&\fBMD2()\fR, \fBMD4()\fR, and \fBMD5()\fR compute the MD2, MD4, and MD5 message digest
of the \fBn\fR bytes at \fBd\fR and place it in \fBmd\fR (which must have space
for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16
bytes of output). If \fBmd\fR is NULL, the digest is placed in a static
array.
.PP
The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
stored in memory:
.PP
\&\fBMD2_Init()\fR initializes a \fBMD2_CTX\fR structure.
.PP
\&\fBMD2_Update()\fR can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
be hashed (\fBlen\fR bytes at \fBdata\fR).
.PP
\&\fBMD2_Final()\fR places the message digest in \fBmd\fR, which must have space
for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the \fBMD2_CTX\fR.
.PP
\&\fBMD4_Init()\fR, \fBMD4_Update()\fR, \fBMD4_Final()\fR, \fBMD5_Init()\fR, \fBMD5_Update()\fR, and
\&\fBMD5_Final()\fR are analogous using an \fBMD4_CTX\fR and \fBMD5_CTX\fR structure.
.PP
Applications should use the higher level functions
\&\fBEVP_DigestInit\fR\|(3)
etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.
.SH NOTE
.IX Header "NOTE"
MD2, MD4, and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with existing
applications. In new applications, SHA\-1 or RIPEMD\-160 should be
preferred.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBMD2()\fR, \fBMD4()\fR, and \fBMD5()\fR return pointers to the hash value.
.PP
\&\fBMD2_Init()\fR, \fBMD2_Update()\fR, \fBMD2_Final()\fR, \fBMD4_Init()\fR, \fBMD4_Update()\fR,
\&\fBMD4_Final()\fR, \fBMD5_Init()\fR, \fBMD5_Update()\fR, and \fBMD5_Final()\fR return 1 for
success, 0 otherwise.
