13 library(md5): MD5 hashes

See also

library(sha), library(hash_stream) and library(crypto).

Compute MD5 hashes from a Prolog string. This library provides a lightweight alternative to the general secure hash interface provided by library(crypto) from the ssl package.

[det]md5_hash(+Data, -Hash, +Options)

Hash is the MD5 hash of Data, The conversion is controlled by Options:

encoding(+Encoding)

If Data is a sequence of character codes, this must be translated into a sequence of bytes, because that is what the hashing requires. The default encoding is utf8. The other meaningful value is octet, claiming that Data contains raw bytes.

Data	is either an atom, string, code-list or char-list.
Hash	is an atom holding 32 characters, representing the hash in hexadecimal notation
