💖 MD5(9) — message digest routines 💖

okay so bestie, this is the MD5(9) page from the Kernel Developer's Manual, and it's literally all about the message digest routines. no cap, we're getting into checksum territory 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

• MD5, MD5Init, MD5Transform — message digest routines

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/md5.h>

void
MD5Init(MD5_CTX *buf);

void
MD5Transform(uint32_t buf[4], const unsigned char block[64]);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The MD5 module implements the RSA Data Security, Inc. MD5 Message-Digest Algorithm (MD5). It produces a 128-bit MD5 Digest of data. iconic behavior, honestly ✨

• MD5Init — must be called just before MD5Transform() will be used to produce a digest. The buf argument is the storage for the digest being produced on subsequent calls to the MD5Transform() routine.
• MD5Transform — is the core of the MD5 algorithm. This alters an existing MD5 hash kept in buf to reflect the addition of 64 characters of new data passed in the block argument. main character energy fr fr 🔥

🎀 COPYRIGHTS 🎀

The code for the MD5 transform was taken from Colin Plumb's implementation, which has been placed in the public domain. The MD5 cryptographic checksum was devised by Ronald Rivest, and is documented in RFC 1321, "The MD5 Message Digest Algorithm". periodt 💅
