 * This is a generic API for computing checksums (or "digests") for a sequence of arbitrary bytes, 
 * using various hashing algorithms like MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. Checksums are commonly used in various environments and specifications.
 *
 * glibmm supports incremental checksums by calling update() as long as there's data available and then using get_string() 
 * or get_digest() to compute the checksum and return it either as a string in hexadecimal form, or as a raw sequence of bytes. 
 * To compute the checksum for binary blobs and NULL-terminated strings in one go, use the static compute_checksum() convenience functions().
