## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### md5Hex(input)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### input
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Type: `buffer` `string` `array[string|buffer]`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Prefer buffers as they're faster to hash, but strings can be useful for small things.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pass an array instead of concatenating strings and/or buffers. The output is the same, but arrays do not incur the overhead of concatenation.
