NAME
    Digest::base - Digest base class

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

DESCRIPTION
    The "Digest::base" class provide 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 this 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.
