Function Documentation

CalculateMD5() [1/2]

std::string md5_lib::CalculateMD5	(	const unsigned char *	data,
		std::size_t	size
	)

Calculates the MD5 hash of a contiguous block of memory.

A convenience overload for hashing data that is already in memory, such as a std::string or std::vector's data.

Parameters

data	A non-null pointer to the beginning of the data block. The type is const unsigned char* as it is the conventional type in C++ for representing raw, untyped byte data.
size	The size of the data block in bytes.

Returns

A 32-character lowercase hexadecimal string representing the MD5 hash.

CalculateMD5() [2/2]

std::string md5_lib::CalculateMD5

(

std::istream &

stream

)

Calculates the MD5 hash of a data stream.

Reads the input stream in chunks. The stream's state will be modified by the read operations.

Parameters

stream

The input stream to hash. The stream will be read until EOF.

Returns

A 32-character lowercase hexadecimal string representing the MD5 hash.

Exceptions

std::ios_base::failure

on stream reading errors if the stream's exception mask is set to throw on badbit.
