=head1 NAME
EVP_MD-common - The OpenSSL EVP_MD implementations, common things
=head1 DESCRIPTION
All the OpenSSL EVP_MD implementations understand the following
L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> entries that are
gettable with L<EVP_MD_get_params(3)>, as well as these:
=over 4
=item "blocksize" (B<OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
The digest block size.
The length of the "blocksize" parameter should not exceed that of a
B<size_t>.
This value can also be retrieved with L<EVP_MD_get_block_size(3)>.
=item "size" (B<OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_SIZE>) <unsigned integer>
The digest output size.
The length of the "size" parameter should not exceed that of a B<size_t>.
This value can also be retrieved with L<EVP_MD_get_size(3)>.
=item "flags" (B<OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_FLAGS>) <unsigned integer>
Diverse flags that describe exceptional behaviour for the digest.
These flags are described in L<EVP_MD_meth_set_flags(3)/DESCRIPTION>.
The length of the "flags" parameter should equal that of an
B<unsigned long int>.
=begin comment
The description of these flags should probably be moved. Also,
EVP_MD_FLAG_FIPS isn't relevant any more.
=end comment
This value can also be retrieved with L<EVP_MD_get_flags(3)>.
