.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIBIO_f_md()\fR returns the message digest \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a filter
\&\s-1BIO\s0 that digests any data passed through it, it is a \s-1BIO\s0 wrapper
for the digest routines \fIEVP_DigestInit()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR
and \fIEVP_DigestFinal()\fR.
.PP
Any data written or read through a digest \s-1BIO\s0 using \fIBIO_read()\fR and
\&\fIBIO_write()\fR is digested.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_gets()\fR, if its \fBsize\fR parameter is large enough finishes the
digest calculation and returns the digest value. \fIBIO_puts()\fR is
not supported.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_reset()\fR reinitialises a digest \s-1BIO\s0.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_set_md()\fR sets the message digest of \s-1BIO\s0 \fBb\fR to \fBmd\fR: this
must be called to initialize a digest \s-1BIO\s0 before any data is
passed through it. It is a \fIBIO_ctrl()\fR macro.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_get_md()\fR places the a pointer to the digest BIOs digest method
in \fBmdp\fR, it is a \fIBIO_ctrl()\fR macro.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_get_md_ctx()\fR returns the digest BIOs context into \fBmdcp\fR.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The context returned by \fIBIO_get_md_ctx()\fR can be used in calls
to \fIEVP_DigestFinal()\fR and also the signature routines \fIEVP_SignFinal()\fR
and \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR.
.PP
The context returned by \fIBIO_get_md_ctx()\fR is an internal context
structure. Changes made to this context will affect the digest
\&\s-1BIO\s0 itself and the context pointer will become invalid when the digest
\&\s-1BIO\s0 is freed.
.PP
After the digest has been retrieved from a digest \s-1BIO\s0 it must be
reinitialized by calling \fIBIO_reset()\fR, or \fIBIO_set_md()\fR before any more
data is passed through it.
.PP
If an application needs to call \fIBIO_gets()\fR or \fIBIO_puts()\fR through
a chain containing digest BIOs then this can be done by prepending
a buffering \s-1BIO\s0.
.PP
Before OpenSSL 0.9.9 the call to \fIBIO_get_md_ctx()\fR would only work if the \s-1BIO\s0
had been initialized for example by calling \fIBIO_set_md()\fR ). In OpenSSL
0.9.9 and later the context is always returned and the \s-1BIO\s0 is state is set
to initialized. This allows applications to initialize the context externally
if the standard calls such as \fIBIO_set_md()\fR are not sufficiently flexible.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIBIO_f_md()\fR returns the digest \s-1BIO\s0 method.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_set_md()\fR, \fIBIO_get_md()\fR and \fIBIO_md_ctx()\fR return 1 for success and
0 for failure.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
The following example creates a \s-1BIO\s0 chain containing an \s-1SHA1\s0 and \s-1MD5\s0
digest \s-1BIO\s0 and passes the string \*(L"Hello World\*(R" through it. Error
checking has been omitted for clarity.
.PP
.Vb 14
\& BIO *bio, *mdtmp;
\& char message[] = "Hello World";
\& bio = BIO_new(BIO_s_null());
\& mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
\& BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_sha1());
\& /* For BIO_push() we want to append the sink BIO and keep a note of
\& * the start of the chain.
\& */
\& bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
\& mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
\& BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_md5());
\& bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
\& /* Note: mdtmp can now be discarded */
\& BIO_write(bio, message, strlen(message));
.Ve
.PP
The next example digests data by reading through a chain instead:
.PP
.Vb 14
\& BIO *bio, *mdtmp;
\& char buf[1024];
\& int rdlen;
\& bio = BIO_new_file(file, "rb");
\& mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
\& BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_sha1());
\& bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
\& mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
\& BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_md5());
\& bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
\& do {
\& rdlen = BIO_read(bio, buf, sizeof(buf));
\& /* Might want to do something with the data here */
\& } while(rdlen > 0);
.Ve
.PP
This next example retrieves the message digests from a \s-1BIO\s0 chain and
outputs them. This could be used with the examples above.
.PP
.Vb 16
\& BIO *mdtmp;
\& unsigned char mdbuf[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
\& int mdlen;
\& int i;
\& mdtmp = bio; /* Assume bio has previously been set up */
\& do {
\& EVP_MD *md;
\& mdtmp = BIO_find_type(mdtmp, BIO_TYPE_MD);
\& if(!mdtmp) break;
\& BIO_get_md(mdtmp, &md);
\& printf("%s digest", OBJ_nid2sn(EVP_MD_type(md)));
\& mdlen = BIO_gets(mdtmp, mdbuf, EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE);
\& for(i = 0; i < mdlen; i++) printf(":%02X", mdbuf[i]);
\& printf("\en");
\& mdtmp = BIO_next(mdtmp);
\& } while(mdtmp);
.Ve
.PP

\& BIO_free_all(bio);
.Ve
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
The lack of support for \fIBIO_puts()\fR and the non standard behaviour of
\&\fIBIO_gets()\fR could be regarded as anomalous. It could be argued that \fIBIO_gets()\fR
and \fIBIO_puts()\fR should be passed to the next \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain and digest
the data passed through and that digests should be retrieved using a
separate \fIBIO_ctrl()\fR call.
