7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 #include <openssl/mdc2.h>
10
11The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
12hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
13see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
14
15 unsigned char *MDC2(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n,
16                     unsigned char *md);
17
18 int MDC2_Init(MDC2_CTX *c);
19 int MDC2_Update(MDC2_CTX *c, const unsigned char *data,
20                 unsigned long len);
21 int MDC2_Final(unsigned char *md, MDC2_CTX *c);
22
23=head1 DESCRIPTION
24
25All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
26Applications should instead use L<EVP_DigestInit_ex(3)>, L<EVP_DigestUpdate(3)>
27and L<EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3)>.
28
29MDC2 is a method to construct hash functions with 128 bit output from
30block ciphers.  These functions are an implementation of MDC2 with
31DES.
32
33MDC2() computes the MDC2 message digest of the B<n>
34bytes at B<d> and places it in B<md> (which must have space for
35MDC2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output). If B<md> is NULL, the digest
36is placed in a static array.
37
38The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
39stored in memory:
40
41MDC2_Init() initializes a B<MDC2_CTX> structure.
42
43MDC2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to
44be hashed (B<len> bytes at B<data>).
45
46MDC2_Final() places the message digest in B<md>, which must have space
47for MDC2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the B<MDC2_CTX>.
48
49Applications should use the higher level functions
50L<EVP_DigestInit(3)> etc. instead of calling the
51hash functions directly.
52
53=head1 RETURN VALUES
54
55MDC2() returns a pointer to the hash value.
56
57MDC2_Init(), MDC2_Update() and MDC2_Final() return 1 for success, 0 otherwise.
