[procedure] (md5-primitive)

Returns the 128-bit checksum primitive object.

md5-digest ; DEPRECATED

[procedure] (md5-digest SOURCE)

Returns the 128-bit checksum of SOURCE as a hex string.

md5-binary-digest ; DEPRECATED

[procedure] (md5-binary-digest SOURCE)

Returns the 128-bit checksum of SOURCE as a string.

Usage

(require-extension md5)

Requirements

message-digest

Notes

• Use the message-digest algorithm API instead of md5-digest & md5-binary-digest.

Equivalent code is available from RSA Data Security, Inc.
