=head1 NAME

EVP_whirlpool
- WHIRLPOOL For EVP

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 const EVP_MD *EVP_whirlpool(void);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

WHIRLPOOL is a cryptographic hash function standardized in ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004

=head1 NOTES

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of
calling this function multiple times and should consider using
L<EVP_MD_fetch(3)> with L<EVP_MD-WHIRLPOOL(7)> instead.
See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

These functions return a B<EVP_MD> structure that contains the
implementation of the message digest. See L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)> for
details of the B<EVP_MD> structure.

=head1 CONFORMING TO

ISO/IEC 10118-3:2004.
