There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The MDX functions calculate a 128-bit cryptographic checksum (digest)
|
|
for any number of input bytes.
|
|
A cryptographic checksum is a one-way
|
|
hash-function, that is, you cannot find (except by exhaustive search)
|
|
the input corresponding to a particular output.
|
|
This net result is
|
|
a ``fingerprint'' of the input-data, which doesn't disclose the actual
|
|
input.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
MD2 is the slowest, MD4 is the fastest and MD5 is somewhere in the middle.
|
|
MD2 can only be used for Privacy-Enhanced Mail.
|
|
MD4 has been criticized for being too weak, so MD5 was developed in
|
|
response as ``MD4 with safety-belts''.
|
|
When in doubt, use MD5.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn MDXInit ,
|
|
.Fn MDXUpdate ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn MDXFinal
|
|
functions are the core functions.
|
|
Allocate an MDX_CTX, initialize it with
|
|
.Fn MDXInit ,
|
|
run over the data with
|
|
.Fn MDXUpdate ,
|
|
and finally extract the result using
|
|
.Fn MDXFinal .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn MDXEnd
|
|
is a wrapper for
|
|
.Fn MDXFinal
|
|
which converts the return value to a 33-character
|
|
(including the terminating '\e0')
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
string which represents the 128 bits in hexadecimal.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn MDXFile
|
|
calculates the digest of a file, and uses
|
|
.Fn MDXEnd
|
|
to return the result.
|
|
If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned.
|
|
.Fn MDXData
|
|
calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses
|
|
.Fn MDXEnd
|
|
to return the result.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When using
|
|
.Fn MDXEnd ,
|
|
.Fn MDXFile ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Fn MDXData ,
|
|
the
|
|
.Ar buf
|
|
argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string
|
|
is allocated with
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
and subsequently must be explicitly deallocated using
|
|
.Xr free 3
|
|
after use.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Ar buf
|
|
argument is non-null it must point to at least 33 characters of buffer space.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
No method is known to exist which finds two files having the same hash value,
|
|
nor to find a file with a specific hash value.
|
|
There is on the other hand no guarantee that such a method doesn't exist.
