The MD5
interface provides facilities for calculating MD5 checksums.
INTERFACE MD5;
IMPORT MD5Digest, OSError, Pathname;
TYPE
T = OBJECT METHODS
clone(): T;
update(READONLY data: ARRAY OF CHAR);
updateRaw(data: UNTRACED REF CHAR; count: CARDINAL);
updateText(text: TEXT);
finish(): TEXT;
finishRaw(VAR rslt: MD5Digest.T);
END;
An MD5.T
calculates the MD5 checksum of some data. After it is
initialized by the init
method, it may be supplied with data
in arbitrary chunks, via calls to update
and/or updateText
.
After all data has been processed, either finish
or finishRaw
should be called to retrieve the checksum and free all the
resources associated with the MD5.T
. The former returns the
checksum in text form, as a 32-character string. The latter
returns the checksum in raw (binary) form.
The clone
method returns a new MD5.T
with an exact copy of the
state of the existing one.
PROCEDURE New(): T;
Creates and initializes a checksum generator, and returns it.
PROCEDURE NewRCS(): T;
Creates and initializes a special checksum generator for RCS files.
It canonicalizes the checksum in such a way as to disregard
irrelevant differences in white space.
PROCEDURE FileSignature(name: Pathname.T): TEXT
RAISES {OSError.E};
Return the MD5 signature, in text form, of an entire file. WARNING: The
MD5 library allocates a buffer of BUFSIZ bytes (from <stdio.h>) on the
stack, to perform this function. Take care that the calling thread's
stack has enough space to allow this.
END MD5.
