/rust_md5

A simple implementation of md5 using Rust

Primary LanguageRust

rust_md5

This is a very simple implementation of the md5 specification - RFC 1321 used to begin learning Rust.

Usage

First, build the project with cargo build. It mimics the usage of md5sum thusly:

> echo 'hi there' | ./target/debug/rust_md5
12f6bb1941df66b8f138a446d4e8670c -

or

> echo 'unicode, ok ✔' > file.txt
> ./target/debug/rust_md5 file.txt
34a7fafe48ccb9d3f18f09949cbfa96f file.txt

There are some simple test cases taken from the specification, which can be executed with cargo test.
