The EVP digest routines are a high level interface to message digests.
EVP_DigestInit() initializes a digest context B<ctx> to use a digest
B<type>: this will typically be supplied by a function such as
EVP_sha1().
EVP_MD_CTX_init() initializes digest contet B<ctx>.
EVP_MD_CTX_create() allocates, initializes and returns a digest contet.
EVP_DigestInit_ex() sets up digest context B<ctx> to use a digest
B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be initialized before calling this
function. B<type> will typically be supplied by a functionsuch as EVP_sha1().
If B<impl> is NULL then the default implementation of digest B<type> is used.
EVP_DigestUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the
digest context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
same B<ctx> to hash additional data.
EVP_DigestFinal() retrieves the digest value from B<ctx> and places
EVP_DigestFinal_ex() retrieves the digest value from B<ctx> and places
it in B<md>. If the B<s> parameter is not NULL then the number of
bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the digest) will be written
to the integer at B<s>, at most B<EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE> bytes will be written.

EVP_MD_CTX_copy() can be used to copy the message digest state from
EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() cleans up digest context B<ctx>, it should be called

EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() cleans up digest context B<ctx> and frees up the
space allocated to it, it should be called only on a context created
using EVP_MD_CTX_create().
EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() can be used to copy the message digest state from
B<in> to B<out>. This is useful if large amounts of data are to be
hashed which only differ in the last few bytes.
hashed which only differ in the last few bytes. B<out> must be initialized
before calling this function.
EVP_DigestInit() behaves in the same way as EVP_DigestInit_ex() except
the passed context B<ctx> does not have to be initialized, and it always
uses the default digest implementation.
EVP_DigestFinal() is similar to EVP_DigestFinal_ex() except the digest
contet B<ctx> is automatically cleaned up.
EVP_MD_CTX_copy() is similar to EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() except the destination
B<out> does not have to be initialized.

SHA1 is the digest of choice for new applications. The other digest algorithms
are still in common use.
The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and EVP_DigestFinal(),
did not return errors in OpenSSL versions before 0.9.7 or earlier. Software only
versions of digest algorithms will never return error codes for these functions.
For most applications the B<impl> parameter to EVP_DigestInit_ex() will be
set to NULL to use the default digest implementation.
The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy() are
obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New
applications should use EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and
EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() because they can efficiently reuse a digest context
instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default
implementations of digests to be specified.
In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if digest contexts are not cleaned up after use
memory leaks will occur.
