## md5_128

```
class md5_128
{
public:

    using result_type = digest<16>;

    static constexpr std::size_t block_size = 64;

    constexpr md5_128();
    explicit constexpr md5_128( std::uint64_t seed );
    md5_128( void const* p, std::size_t n );
    constexpr md5_128( unsigned char const* p, std::size_t n );

    void update( void const* p, std::size_t n );
    constexpr void update( unsigned char const* p, std::size_t n );

    constexpr result_type result();
};
```

### Constructors

```
constexpr md5_128();
```

Default constructor.

Effects: ::
  Initializes the internal state of the MD5 algorithm to its initial values.

```
explicit constexpr md5_128( std::uint64_t seed );
```

Constructor taking an integer seed value.

Effects: ::
  Initializes the state as if by default construction, then if `seed` is not zero, performs `update(p, 8); result();` where `p` points to a little-endian representation of the value of `seed`.

Remarks: ::
  By convention, if `seed` is zero, the effect of this constructor is the same as default construction.

```
md5_128( void const* p, std::size_t n );
constexpr md5_128( unsigned char const* p, std::size_t n );
```

Constructor taking a byte sequence seed.

Effects: ::
  Initializes the state as if by default construction, then if `n` is not zero, performs `update(p, n); result()`.

Remarks: ::
  By convention, if `n` is zero, the effect of this constructor is the same as default construction.

### update

```
void update( void const* p, std::size_t n );
constexpr void update( unsigned char const* p, std::size_t n );
```

Effects: ::
  Updates the internal state of the MD5 algorithm from the byte sequence `[p, p+n)`.

Remarks: ::
  Consecutive calls to `update` are equivalent to a single call with the concatenated byte sequences of the individual calls.

### result

```
constexpr result_type result();
```

Effects: ::
  Pads the accumulated message and finalizes the MD5 digest.

Returns: ::
  The MD5 digest of the message formed from the byte sequences of the preceding calls to `update`.

Remarks: ::
  Repeated calls to `result()` return a pseudorandom sequence of `result_type` values, effectively extending the output.
