16 // MD5 stands for Message Digest algorithm 5.

18 // for file checksums. The code is complex and slow, but has few

23 // These functions perform MD5 operations. The simplest call is MD5Sum() to
24 // generate the MD5 sum of the given data.
26 // You can also compute the MD5 sum of data incrementally by making multiple
27 // calls to MD5Update():
28 // MD5Context ctx; // intermediate MD5 data: do not use
30 // MD5Update(&ctx, data1, length1);
31 // MD5Update(&ctx, data2, length2);
34 // MD5Digest digest; // the result of the computation
35 // MD5Final(&digest, &ctx);
37 // You can call MD5DigestToBase16() to generate a string of the digest.
39 // The output of an MD5 operation.
44 // Used for storing intermediate data during an MD5 computation. Callers
45 // should not access the data.
