NAME
       BIO_f_md, BIO_set_md, BIO_get_md, BIO_get_md_ctx - message digest BIO
       filter
SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/bio.h>
        #include <openssl/evp.h>
        BIO_METHOD *   BIO_f_md(void);
        int BIO_set_md(BIO *b,EVP_MD *md);
        int BIO_get_md(BIO *b,EVP_MD **mdp);
        int BIO_get_md_ctx(BIO *b,EVP_MD_CTX **mdcp);
DESCRIPTION
       BIO_f_md() returns the message digest BIO method. This is a filter BIO
       that digests any data passed through it, it is a BIO wrapper for the
       digest routines EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and
       EVP_DigestFinal().
       Any data written or read through a digest BIO using BIO_read() and
       BIO_write() is digested.
       BIO_gets(), if its size parameter is large enough finishes the digest
       calculation and returns the digest value. BIO_puts() is not supported.
       BIO_reset() reinitialises a digest BIO.
       BIO_set_md() sets the message digest of BIO b to md: this must be
       called to initialize a digest BIO before any data is passed through it.
       It is a BIO_ctrl() macro.
       BIO_get_md() places the a pointer to the digest BIOs digest method in
       mdp, it is a BIO_ctrl() macro.
       BIO_get_md_ctx() returns the digest BIOs context into mdcp.
NOTES
       The context returned by BIO_get_md_ctx() can be used in calls to
       EVP_DigestFinal() and also the signature routines EVP_SignFinal() and
       EVP_VerifyFinal().
       The context returned by BIO_get_md_ctx() is an internal context
       structure. Changes made to this context will affect the digest BIO
       itself and the context pointer will become invalid when the digest BIO
       is freed.
       After the digest has been retrieved from a digest BIO it must be
       reinitialized by calling BIO_reset(), or BIO_set_md() before any more
       data is passed through it.
       If an application needs to call BIO_gets() or BIO_puts() through a
       chain containing digest BIOs then this can be done by prepending a
       buffering BIO.
       Before OpenSSL 1.0.0 the call to BIO_get_md_ctx() would only work if
       the BIO had been initialized for example by calling BIO_set_md() ). In
       OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later the context is always returned and the BIO is
       state is set to initialized. This allows applications to initialize the
       context externally if the standard calls such as BIO_set_md() are not
       sufficiently flexible.
RETURN VALUES
       BIO_f_md() returns the digest BIO method.
       BIO_set_md(), BIO_get_md() and BIO_md_ctx() return 1 for success and 0
       for failure.
EXAMPLES
       The following example creates a BIO chain containing an SHA1 and MD5
       digest BIO and passes the string "Hello World" through it. Error
       checking has been omitted for clarity.
        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));
       The next example digests data by reading through a chain instead:
        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);
       This next example retrieves the message digests from a BIO chain and
       outputs them. This could be used with the examples above.
        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("\n");
               mdtmp = BIO_next(mdtmp);
        } while(mdtmp);
        BIO_free_all(bio);
BUGS
       The lack of support for BIO_puts() and the non standard behaviour of
       BIO_gets() could be regarded as anomalous. It could be argued that
       BIO_gets() and BIO_puts() should be passed to the next BIO in the chain
       and digest the data passed through and that digests should be retrieved
       using a separate BIO_ctrl() call.
