Module Core_kernel__Md5

This module implements the MD5 message-digest algorithm as described IETF RFC 1321. t is the result type and val digest_string : string -> t is the implementation of the algorithm itself.

This is currently a thin wrapper over the Digest module in INRIA's standard library.

module Stable : sig ... end
module As_binary_string : sig ... end

Both bin_io and sexp serializations produce a binary 16-character string.

type t = Stable.V1.t

Intended to represent a 16-byte string that is the output of MD5 algorithm.

Note that any 16-byte string can be converted to this type, so a value of type t is not an evidence of someone having found an input corresponding to this output.

val (<) : t ‑> t ‑> bool
val (<>) : t ‑> t ‑> bool
val equal : t ‑> t ‑> bool
val compare : t ‑> t ‑> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t ‑> t ‑> t
val max : t ‑> t ‑> t
val ascending : t ‑> t ‑> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~cmp:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t ‑> t ‑> int
val between : t ‑> low:t ‑> high:t ‑> bool
val clamp_exn : t ‑> min:t ‑> max:t ‑> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

This function only needs implementation if t exposed to be a polymorphic variant. Despite what the type reads, this does *not* produce a function after reading; instead it takes the constructor tag (int) before reading and reads the rest of the variant t afterwards.

val digest_num_bytes : int

digest_num_bytes = 16 is the size of the digest in bytes.

val to_binary : t ‑> string

Binary representations are 16 bytes long, and not human readable.

val of_binary_exn : string ‑> t
val to_hex : t ‑> string

to_hex prints each byte of t as a big-endian sequence of 2 hex digits (e.g. byte 31 is written as "1f") and then concatenates them. For example, 

      Md5.to_hex (Md5.digest_string "a") =
      Md5.to_hex (
        Md5.of_binary_exn
          "\x0c\xc1\x75\xb9\xc0\xf1\xb6\xa8\x31\xc3\x99\xe2\x69\x77\x26\x61") =
      "0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661"
val of_hex_exn : string ‑> t

The inverse of to_hex. This function ignores case. It will raise an exception if the string is not a 32-byte-long string of hex digits.

val digest_string : string ‑> t
val digest_bytes : bytes ‑> t
val digest_subbytes : bytes ‑> pos:int ‑> len:int ‑> t

digest_subbytes m ~pos ~len computes Md5 digest of the substring of m of length len starting at pos.

val digest_file_blocking_without_releasing_runtime_lock : string ‑> t

digest_file_blocking_without_releasing_runtime_lock filename reads the contents of file filename and computes its digest.

WARNING: This function does digest computation with OCaml global lock held, so it can be slow and make the other threads starve. Use Core.Md5.digest_file_blocking instead.

val digest_channel_blocking_without_releasing_runtime_lock : Pervasives.in_channel ‑> len:int ‑> t

Reads len bytes from the given channel and computes md5 digest of that.

WARNING: This function does digest computation with OCaml global lock held, so it can be slow and make the other threads starve. Use Core.Md5.digest_fd_blocking instead.

val input_blocking : Pervasives.in_channel ‑> t

Reads an Md5 digest from the given channel (in a format written by output_blocking)

val output_blocking : t ‑> Pervasives.out_channel ‑> unit

Writes the Md5 digest to the given channel.
