SYNOPSIS
string md5(string arg [, int iterations])
string md5(bytes arg [, int iterations])
string md5(int * arg [, int iterations])
DESCRIPTION
Create and return a MD5 message digest from <arg>.
<arg> may be a string, a byte sequence, or an array of numbers
(each considered to be a byte, ignoring all but the lowest 8 bits).
A string is converted to a UTF-8 byte sequence of which then the
digest will be created.
If <iterations> is given as a number greater than 0, it is
the number of iterations used in the digest calculation. If omitted,
the driver executes just one iteration.
The efun costs 5 ticks per iteration.
EXAMPLES
string s;
s = md5("Hello");
s = md5( ({ 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' }) )
s = md5( ({ 'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' }), 2 )
HISTORY
Introduced in LDMud 3.2.9.
LDMud 3.2.12 added number arrays as argument, and the number of
interations.
LDMud 3.3.717 added the iteration-based evaluation cost.
Since LDMud 3.3.719 obsoleted by hash().
