=head1 NAME

MD2, MD4, MD5, MD2_Init, MD2_Update, MD2_Final, MD4_Init, MD4_Update,
MD4_Final, MD5_Init, MD5_Update, MD5_Final - MD2, MD4, and MD5 hash functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,
see L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:

 #include <openssl/md2.h>

 unsigned char *MD2(const unsigned char *d, unsigned long n, unsigned char *md);

 int MD2_Init(MD2_CTX *c);
 int MD2_Update(MD2_CTX *c, const unsigned char *data, unsigned long len);
 int MD2_Final(unsigned char *md, MD2_CTX *c);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use L<EVP_DigestInit_ex(3)>, L<EVP_DigestUpdate(3)>
and L<EVP_DigestFinal_ex(3)>.

MD2, MD4, and MD5 are cryptographic hash functions with a 128 bit output.

MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() compute the MD2, MD4, and MD5 message digest
of the B<n> bytes at B<d> and place it in B<md> (which must have space
for MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD4_DIGEST_LENGTH == MD5_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16
bytes of output). If B<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 B<MD2_CTX> structure.

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

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

MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(), MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and
MD5_Final() are analogous using an B<MD4_CTX> and B<MD5_CTX> structure. The parameter B<MUST NOT> be NULL.

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

=head1 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.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

MD2(), MD4(), and MD5() return pointers to the hash value.

MD2_Init(), MD2_Update(), MD2_Final(), MD4_Init(), MD4_Update(),
MD4_Final(), MD5_Init(), MD5_Update(), and MD5_Final() return 1 for
success, 0 otherwise.

=head1 CONFORMING TO

RFC 1319, RFC 1320, RFC 1321

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<EVP_DigestInit(3)>, L<EVP_MD-SHA2(7)>, L<EVP_MD-SHA3(7)>

=head1 HISTORY

All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
