MD2 and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a 128 bit output.

MD2() and MD5() compute the MD2 and MD5 message digest of the n bytes at d and place it in md (which must have space for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output). If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a static array.

The following functions may be used if the message is not completely stored in memory:

MD2_Init() initializes a MD2_CTX structure.

MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed (len bytes at data).

MD2_Final() places the message digest in md, which must have space for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output, and erases the MD2_CTX.

MD5_Init(), MD5_Update() and MD5_Final() are analogous using an MD5_CTX structure.

Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3) etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly.

MD2 and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with existing applications. In new applications, SHA−1 or RIPEMD−160 should be preferred.

MD2() and MD5() return pointers to the hash value.

MD2_Init(), MD2_Update() MD2_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update() and MD5_Final() do not return values.

MD2(), MD2_Init(), MD2_Update() MD2_Final(), MD5(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update() and MD5_Final() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
