Parameters

strDigest
[out] String variable long enough to receive the final message digest.
hContext
[in] Long handle to the MD5 context.

.NET Equivalent

Md5.HexDigest Method

Remarks

This operation delivers the result of Add operations since the last Init or Reset operation. The handle to the context hContext must have been set up with a prior call to MD5_Init. The string variable strDigest must have been set up with at least 32 (API_MAX_MD5_CHARS) characters (33 in a C program) to receive the digest value in hex format. Note that this digest operation is a destructive, read-once operation. Once it has been performed, the context must be reset before being used to calculate another digest value.
