=head1 NAME
life_cycle-digest - The digest algorithm life-cycle
=head1 DESCRIPTION
All message digests (MDs) go through a number of stages in their life-cycle:
=over 4
=item start
This state represents the MD before it has been allocated. It is the
starting state for any life-cycle transitions.
=item newed
This state represents the MD after it has been allocated.
=item initialised
This state represents the MD when it is set up and capable of processing
input.
=item updated
This state represents the MD when it is set up and capable of processing
additional input or generating output.
=item finaled
This state represents the MD when it has generated output.
=item freed
This state is entered when the MD is freed. It is the terminal state
for all life-cycle transitions.
=back
=head2 State Transition Diagram
The usual life-cycle of a MD is illustrated:
=begin man
+-------------------+
| start |
+-------------------+
|
| EVP_MD_CTX_new
v
+-------------------+ EVP_MD_CTX_reset
| newed | <------------------------------+
+-------------------+ |

| EVP_DigestInit |
v |
+-------------------+ |
+--> | initialised | <+ EVP_DigestInit |

=head2 Formal State Transitions
This section defines all of the legal state transitions.
This is the canonical list.
