;;; Commentary:

;; Provides the `md5' function for computing the MD5 `message
;; digest'/`fingerprint'/`checksum' for a string or buffer.  This is
;; compatible with the XEmacs version.  We expect to have primitive
;; MD5 support in a future version of Emacs.

;; MD5 is defined in RFC 1321.

;;; Code:

;; Not worth customizing?  Will go away anyhow with primitive support.
(defvar md5-program "md5sum"
  "Name of a program to calculate MD5 (message digest) checksums.
This should read standard input and output the MD5 checksum in the
first 32 bytes of standard output.  `md5sum' is in GNU Textutils.  An
alternative is `md5', present in the SSLeay distribution.")

;;;###autoload
(defun md5 (object &optional start end encoding noerror)
  "Return the MD5 message digest (checksum or fingerprint) of OBJECT.
OBJECT is a buffer or a atring.  Optional arguments START and END
specify a region of the object to use, where the first character is 1
for both buffers and strings.

Optional argument ENCODING specifies a coding system with which to
encode the text for computing the digest.  If omitted, the normal
rules will be used to find a coding system for output to
`md5-program'.  It probably makes most sense to use unibyte data and
`binary' encoding.  Optional argument NOERROR is for XEmacs
compatibility and is ignored.

In this implementation, the program named by `md5-program' is run to
do the calculation.

MD5 is defined in RFC 1321."
