I read out each element in the array as a hexadecimal and the output was matching. Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Hello,

I'm trying to use libgcrypt to generate a hash. I'm pretty new to programming so I'm just testing out the library.

This is the code I've written:

As you can see I'm just trying to test out this function. Everything runs but at the end the printf prints out jibberish which I'm unable to interpret. How is the hash digest encoded?
That jibberish is almost certainly a binary MD5 digest of "hello\n". Try piping the output of your program through "hexdump -C" and compare the last bytes to the output of "echo hello | md5sum" at a shell prompt.

As for how to use this, try writing a simple routine to dump the hash value as hexadecimal instead of trying to print it as a string.
