You'd probably just use std.stdio.File's byChunk with std.md5.MD5_CTX. Something like MD5_CTX md5; md5.start(); auto file = File(filename); foreach(ubyte[] buffer; file.byChunk(4096)) md5.update(buffer); ubyte[16] result; md5.finish(result); I've never used std.md5 though, so I'm just going by the docs on how to use it. - Jonathan M Davis
