110.Sh DESCRIPTION
111MD4 and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a 128-bit
112output.
113.Pp
114.Fn MD4
115and
116.Fn MD5
117compute the MD4 and MD5 message digest of the
118.Fa n
119bytes at
120.Fa d
121and place it in
122.Fa md ,
123which must have space for
124.Dv MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH No == Dv MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH No == 16
125bytes of output.
126If
127.Fa md
128is
129.Dv NULL ,
130the digest is placed in a static array.
131.Pp
132The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
133stored in memory:
134.Pp
135.Fn MD5_Init
136initializes a
137.Vt MD5_CTX
138structure.
139.Pp
140.Fn MD5_Update
141can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed
142.Pq Fa len No bytes at Fa data .
143.Pp
144.Fn MD5_Final
145places the message digest in
146.Fa md ,
147which must have space for
148.Dv MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH No == 16
149bytes of output, and erases the
150.Vt MD5_CTX .
151.Pp
152.Fn MD4_Init ,
153.Fn MD4_Update ,
154and
155.Fn MD4_Final
156are analogous using an
157.Vt MD4_CTX
158structure.
159.Pp
160Applications should use the higher level functions
161.Xr EVP_DigestInit 3
162etc. instead of calling these hash functions directly.
163.Sh RETURN VALUES
164.Fn MD4
165and
166.Fn MD5
167return pointers to the hash value.
168.Pp
169.Fn MD4_Init ,
170.Fn MD4_Update ,
171.Fn MD4_Final ,
172.Fn MD5_Init ,
173.Fn MD5_Update ,
174and
175.Fn MD5_Final
176return 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
