     extern unsigned char *
     CC_MD4(const void *data, CC_LONG len, unsigned char *md);

     extern int
     CC_MD5_Init(CC_MD5_CTX *c);

     extern int
     CC_MD5_Update(CC_MD5_CTX *c, const void *data, CC_LONG len);

     extern int

     extern unsigned char *
     CC_MD5(const void *data, CC_LONG len, unsigned char *md);

DESCRIPTION
     The following functions are used to produce an hash from data:

     CC_MD2_Init() initializes a CC_MD2_CTX structure.

     CC_MD2_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be hashed (len bytes at data).

     CC_MD2_Final() places the MD2 message digest in md, which must have space for CC_MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH ==
     16 bytes of output, and erases the CC_MD2_CTX.

     CC_MD2() computes the MD2 message digest of the len bytes at data and places it in md (which must have
     space for CC_MD2_DIGEST_LENGTH == 16 bytes of output). It returns the md pointer.

     CC_MD4_Init(), CC_MD4_Update(), CC_MD4_Final(), CC_MD4(), CC_MD5_Init(), CC_MD5_Update(),
     CC_MD5_Final(), and CC_MD5() are analogous using an CC_MD4_CTX and CC_MD5_CTX structure.

NOTE
     MD2, MD4, and MD5 are recommended only for compatibility with existing applications. In new applica-tions, applications,
     tions, SHA-256(or greater) should be preferred.

RETURN VALUES
     All routines return 1 except for the one-shot routines ( CC_MD2() , etc.), which return the pointer
     passed in via the md parameter.

HISTORY
     These functions are available in OS X 10.4 and later.

     These functions provide similar functionality to the routines found in OpenSSL 0.9.6 and may use the
     same implementation.
