Module Digest : sig end
MD5 message digest. This module provides functions to compute 128-bit ``digests'' of arbitrary-length strings or files. The digests are of cryptographic quality: it is very hard, given a digest, to forge a string having that digest. The algorithm used is MD5.
type t = string
The type of digests: 16-character strings.
val string : string -> t Return the digest of the given string.
val substring : string -> int -> int -> t
Digest.substring s ofs len returns the digest of the substring of s starting at character number ofs and containing len characters.
val channel : Pervasives.in_channel -> int -> t If len is nonnegative, Digest.channel ic len reads len characters from channel ic and returns their digest, or raises End_of_file if end-of-file is reached before len characters are read. If len is negative, Digest.channel ic len reads all characters from ic until end-of-file is reached and return their digest.
val file : string -> t Return the digest of the file whose name is given.
val output : Pervasives.out_channel -> t -> unit Write a digest on the given output channel.
val input : Pervasives.in_channel -> t Read a digest from the given input channel.
val to_hex : t -> string Return the printable hexadecimal representation of the given digest.
