📋 SYNOPSIS

package Digest::Foo;
use base 'Digest::base';

📝 DESCRIPTION

The Digest::base class provides implementations of the methods addfile and add_bits in terms of add, and of the methods hexdigest and b64digest in terms of digest.

Digest implementations might want to inherit from this class to get these implementations of the alternative add and digest methods. A minimal subclass needs to implement the following methods by itself:

• new
• clone
• add
• digest

The arguments and expected behaviour of these methods are described in Digest.
