16 // MD5 stands for Message Digest algorithm 5.
17 // MD5 is a robust hash function, designed for cyptography, but often used
18 // for file checksums.  The code is complex and slow, but has few
19 // collisions.
20 // See Also:
21 //   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
22 
23 // These functions perform MD5 operations. The simplest call is MD5Sum() to
24 // generate the MD5 sum of the given data.
25 //
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
29 //   MD5Init(&ctx);
30 //   MD5Update(&ctx, data1, length1);
31 //   MD5Update(&ctx, data2, length2);
32 //   ...
33 //
34 //   MD5Digest digest; // the result of the computation
35 //   MD5Final(&digest, &ctx);
36 //
37 // You can call MD5DigestToBase16() to generate a string of the digest.
