.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "BIO_F_MD 3"

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
BIO_f_md, BIO_set_md, BIO_get_md, BIO_get_md_ctx - message digest BIO filter
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 2 #include <openssl/bio.h> #include <openssl/evp.h> \& const 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); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBBIO_f_md() returns the message digest \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a filter \s-1BIO\s0 that digests any data passed through it, it is a \s-1BIO\s0 wrapper for the digest routines EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and EVP_DigestFinal().

Any data written or read through a digest \s-1BIO\s0 using BIO_read_ex() and \fBBIO_write_ex() is digested.

\fBBIO_gets(), if its size parameter is large enough finishes the digest calculation and returns the digest value. BIO_puts() is not supported.

\fBBIO_reset() reinitialises a digest \s-1BIO.\s0

\fBBIO_set_md() sets the message digest of \s-1BIO\s0 b to md: this must be called to initialize a digest \s-1BIO\s0 before any data is passed through it. It is a BIO_ctrl() macro.

\fBBIO_get_md() places the a pointer to the digest BIOs digest method in mdp, it is a BIO_ctrl() macro.

\fBBIO_get_md_ctx() returns the digest BIOs context into mdcp.

"NOTES"
Header "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 \s-1BIO\s0 itself and the context pointer will become invalid when the digest \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.

After the digest has been retrieved from a digest \s-1BIO\s0 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 \s-1BIO.\s0

Calling BIO_get_md_ctx() will return the context and initialize the \s-1BIO\s0 state. This allows applications to initialize the context externally if the standard calls such as BIO_set_md() are not sufficiently flexible.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_f_md() returns the digest \s-1BIO\s0 method.

\fBBIO_set_md(), BIO_get_md() and BIO_md_ctx() return 1 for success and <=0 for failure.

"EXAMPLES"
Header "EXAMPLES" The following example creates a \s-1BIO\s0 chain containing an \s-1SHA1\s0 and \s-1MD5\s0 digest \s-1BIO\s0 and passes the string \*(L"Hello World\*(R" through it. Error checking has been omitted for clarity.

.Vb 2 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)); .Ve

The next example digests data by reading through a chain instead:

.Vb 3 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); .Ve

This next example retrieves the message digests from a \s-1BIO\s0 chain and outputs them. This could be used with the examples above.

.Vb 4 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_get_type(md))); mdlen = BIO_gets(mdtmp, mdbuf, EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE); for (i = 0; i < mdlen; i++) printf(":%02X", mdbuf[i]); printf("\en"); mdtmp = BIO_next(mdtmp); } while (mdtmp); \& BIO_free_all(bio); .Ve

"BUGS"
Header "BUGS" The lack of support for BIO_puts() and the non standard behaviour of \fBBIO_gets() could be regarded as anomalous. It could be argued that BIO_gets() and BIO_puts() should be passed to the next \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain and digest the data passed through and that digests should be retrieved using a separate BIO_ctrl() call.
"HISTORY"
Header "HISTORY" Before OpenSSL 1.0.0., the call to BIO_get_md_ctx() would only work if the \s-1BIO\s0 was initialized first.
