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.
