NAME
     libmd -- Message Digest functions from BSD systems
DESCRIPTION
     The libmd library provides message digest functions found on BSD systems
     either on their libc or libmd libraries and lacking on others like GNU
     systems, thus making it easier to port projects with strong BSD origins,
     without needing to embed the same code over and over again on each
     project.
     The library provides a compatibility interface for the Aladding Enter-
     prises MD5 implementation, but the interface is not exposed by default to
     avoid polluting the namespace.  The LIBMD_MD5_ALADDIN pre-processor vari-
     able needs to be defined to expose this interface.
     The library provides a pkgconf(1) entry named libmd.
HEADERS

     interfaces.
     The following headers are provided for compatibility with NetBSD and
     OpenBSD.

     <md4.h>
     <md5.h>
     <rmd160.h>
     <sha1.h>

     The following headers are provided for compatibility with FreeBSD and
     DragonFly.

HISTORY
     The libmd project started in the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD port as part of the
     libbsd library, as a way to ease porting code from FreeBSD to the GNU-
     based system.  It was subsequently split into a project created on
     Hadrons.Org (mirrored on FreeDesktop.Org) for other distributions and
     projects to use, and further extended to match the other BSD interfaces.
     It is now distributed as part of most non-BSD distributions
