.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use \fBEVP_DigestInit_ex\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_DigestUpdate\fR\|(3)
and \fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex\fR\|(3).
.PP
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, hashes from the SHA\-2 or SHA\-3 family
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.
