13 // MD5 stands for Message Digest algorithm 5.
14 // MD5 is a robust hash function, designed for cyptography, but often used
15 // for file checksums.  The code is complex and slow, but has few
16 // collisions.
17 // See Also:
18 //   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
19 
20 // These functions perform MD5 operations. The simplest call is MD5Sum() to
21 // generate the MD5 sum of the given data.
22 //
23 // You can also compute the MD5 sum of data incrementally by making multiple
24 // calls to MD5Update():
25 //   MD5Context ctx; // intermediate MD5 data: do not use
26 //   MD5Init(&ctx);
27 //   MD5Update(&ctx, data1, length1);
28 //   MD5Update(&ctx, data2, length2);
29 //   ...
30 //
31 //   MD5Digest digest; // the result of the computation
32 //   MD5Final(&digest, &ctx);
33 //
34 // You can call MD5DigestToBase16() to generate a string of the digest.
