# 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.
