📦 version 3.5.0, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💫 EVP_MD-WHIRLPOOL 💫

okay so this is the EVP_MD-WHIRLPOOL(7ossl) page from the OpenSSL fam — and yes bestie, we're talking about the WHIRLPOOL EVP_MD implementation. she's a little vintage, she's a little mysterious, and she has opinions about where she lives. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

EVP_MD-WHIRLPOOL — the WHIRLPOOL EVP_MD implementation, aka the girl herself 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically: this is the support for computing WHIRLPOOL digests through the EVP_MD API. that's the whole vibe. she does one thing and she does it well 💅

🎀 Identity 🎀

okay this is the important part, pay attention:

  • this implementation is only available with the legacy provider ⚠️ like, she does not live in the default house, she lives in the legacy house, and you literally cannot find her anywhere else.
  • she is identified with the name "WHIRLPOOL" — that's her name, that's what you call her, no nicknames, no vibes-based guessing ✨
so if you're out here like "where is my WHIRLPOOL digest" — check your provider first, bestie, she's legacy-only, no cap 😭

🦋 Gettable Parameters 🦋

this implementation supports the common gettable parameters described over in EVP_MD-common(7). that's it, that's the list — go read that page for the deets, she's not reinventing the wheel here, she's just showing up and being consistent 🧚
