md5sum

Class to create MD5 checksum from file or string.

Example

First clone the source code.

git clone https://github.com/dnomd343/md5sum.git

Then create main.cc and write the following demo code.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "md5sum.h"

using namespace md5;

int main() {
    std::string foo = "hello world";

    /* MD5 from std::string */
    std::cout << "md5sum: " << md5sum(foo) << std::endl;

    /* MD5 from c-string */
    std::cout << "md5sum: " << md5sum(foo.c_str(), foo.size()) << std::endl;

    /* MD5 from filename */
    std::cout << "md5file: " << md5file("md5sum/LICENSE") << std::endl;

    /* MD5 from opened file */
    std::FILE *file = std::fopen("md5sum/LICENSE", "rb");
    std::cout << "md5file: " << md5file(file) << std::endl;
    std::fclose(file);
}

Compile them and run.

> g++ -std=c++0x -I./md5sum -o demo main.cc md5sum/*.cc
> ./demo
md5sum: 5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc3
md5sum: 5eb63bbbe01eeed093cb22bb8f5acdc3
md5file: 4ab93db71092d8b54266f83575c1b9e1
md5file: 4ab93db71092d8b54266f83575c1b9e1

A more elegant approach is to use cmake to compile, create CMakeLists.txt and write the following content.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(demo LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

include_directories(md5sum)
add_subdirectory(md5sum EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

add_executable(demo main.cc)
target_link_libraries(demo md5sum)

Using the following command to build and run.
