life_cycle\-digest \- The digest algorithm life\-cycle
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All message digests (MDs) go through a number of stages in their life-cycle:
.IP "start" 4
.IX Item "start"
This state represents the \s-1MD\s0 before it has been allocated.  It is the
starting state for any life-cycle transitions.
.IP "newed" 4
.IX Item "newed"
This state represents the \s-1MD\s0 after it has been allocated.
.IP "initialised" 4
.IX Item "initialised"
This state represents the \s-1MD\s0 when it is set up and capable of processing
input.
.IP "updated" 4
.IX Item "updated"
This state represents the \s-1MD\s0 when it is set up and capable of processing
additional input or generating output.
.IP "finaled" 4
.IX Item "finaled"
This state represents the \s-1MD\s0 when it has generated output.
For an \s-1XOF\s0 digest, this state represents the \s-1MD\s0 when it has generated a
single-shot output.
.IP "squeezed" 4
.IX Item "squeezed"
For an \s-1XOF\s0 digest, this state represents the \s-1MD\s0 when it has generated output.
It can be called multiple times to generate more output. The output length is
variable for each call.
.IP "freed" 4
.IX Item "freed"
This state is entered when the \s-1MD\s0 is freed.  It is the terminal state
for all life-cycle transitions.
.SS "State Transition Diagram"
.IX Subsection "State Transition Diagram"
The usual life-cycle of a \s-1MD\s0 is illustrated:
