+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The EVP digest routines are a high-level interface to message digests
+and should be used instead of the cipher-specific functions.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_new
+allocates a new, empty digest context.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_reset
+cleans up
+.Fa ctx
+and resets it to the state it had after
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_new ,
+such that it can be reused.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_free
+cleans up
+.Fa ctx
+and frees the space allocated to it.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_init
+is a deprecated function to clear a digest context on the stack
+before use.
+Do not use it on a digest context returned from
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_new
+or one that was already used.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_create ,
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_destroy
+are deprecated aliases for
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_new ,
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_reset ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_free ,
+respectively.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit_ex
+sets up the digest context
+.Fa ctx
+to use a digest
+.Fa type .
+The
+.Fa type
+will typically be supplied by a function such as
+.Fn EVP_sha512 .
+The
+.Fa ENGINE *engine
+argument is always ignored and passing
+.Dv NULL
+is recommended.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestUpdate
+hashes
+.Fa cnt
+bytes of data at
+.Fa d
+into the digest context
+.Fa ctx .
+This function can be called several times on the same
+.Fa ctx
+to hash additional data.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal_ex
+retrieves the digest value from
+.Fa ctx
+and places it in
+.Fa md .
+If the
+.Fa s
+parameter is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+then the number of bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the
+digest) will be written to the integer at
+.Fa s ;
+at most
+.Dv EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE
+bytes will be written.
+After calling
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal_ex ,
+no additional calls to
+.Fn EVP_DigestUpdate
+can be made, but
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit_ex
+can be called to initialize a new digest operation.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_Digest
+is a simple wrapper function to hash
+.Fa cnt
+bytes of data at
+.Fa d
+using the digest
+.Fa type
+in a one-shot operation and place the digest value into
+.Fa md ,
+and, unless
+.Fa s
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the length of the digest in bytes into
+.Pf * Fa s .
+This wrapper uses a temporary digest context and passes its arguments to
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit_ex ,
+.Fn EVP_DigestUpdate ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal_ex
+internally.
+The
+.Fa ENGINE *engine
+argument is always ignored and passing
+.Dv NULL
+is recommended.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex
+can be used to copy the message digest state from
+.Fa in
+to
+.Fa out .
+This is useful if large amounts of data are to be hashed which only
+differ in the last few bytes.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit
+is a deprecated function behaving like
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit_ex
+except that it requires
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_reset
+before it can be used on a context that was already used.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal
+is a deprecated function behaving like
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal_ex
+except that the digest context
+.Fa ctx
+is automatically cleaned up after use by calling
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_reset
+internally.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_copy
+is a deprecated function behaving like
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex
+except that it requires
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_reset
+before a context that was already used can be passed as
+.Fa out .
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_sha224 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha256 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha384 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha512 ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_ripemd160
+return
+.Vt EVP_MD
+structures for the SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 and
+RIPEMD-160 digest algorithms respectively.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_sha512_224
+and
+.Fn EVP_sha512_256
+return an
+.Vt EVP_MD
+structure that provides the truncated SHA-512 variants
+SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256,
+respectively.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_md_null
+is a "null" message digest that does nothing:
+i.e. the hash it returns is of zero length.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbyname ,
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbynid ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbyobj
+return an
+.Vt EVP_MD
+structure when passed a digest name, a digest NID, or an ASN1_OBJECT
+structure respectively.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbynid
+and
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbyobj
+are implemented as macros.
+.Pp
+The EVP interface to message digests should almost always be used
+in preference to the low-level interfaces.
+This is because the code then becomes transparent to the digest used and
+much more flexible.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa ENGINE *engine
+argument is always ignored and passing
+.Dv NULL
+is recommended.
+.Pp
+The functions
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit ,
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_copy
+are obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing
+code.
+New applications should use
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit_ex ,
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal_ex ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex
+because they can efficiently reuse a digest context instead of
+initializing and cleaning it up on each call.
+.Pp
+If digest contexts are not cleaned up after use, memory leaks will occur.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_new
+and
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_create
+return the new
+.Vt EVP_MD_CTX
+object or
+.Dv NULL
+for failure.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_reset ,
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_init ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup
+always return 1.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit_ex ,
+.Fn EVP_DigestUpdate ,
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal_ex ,
+.Fn EVP_Digest ,
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex ,
+.Fn EVP_DigestInit ,
+.Fn EVP_DigestFinal ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_copy
+return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_MD_CTX_md
+returns the
+.Vt EVP_MD
+object used by
+.Fa ctx ,
+or
+.Dv NULL
+if
+.Fa ctx
+is
+.Dv NULL
+or does not have any message digest algorithm assigned yet.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_md_null ,
+.Fn EVP_sha224 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha256 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha384 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha512 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha512_224 ,
+.Fn EVP_sha512_256 ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_ripemd160
+return pointers to constant static objects owned by the library.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbyname ,
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbynid ,
+and
+.Fn EVP_get_digestbyobj
+return either an
+.Vt EVP_MD
+structure or
+.Dv NULL
+if an error occurs.
