     9  # `md5` Function
    10  
    11  `md5` computes the MD5 hash of a given string and encodes it with
    12  hexadecimal digits.
    13  
    14  The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the MD5 algorithm is applied
    15  as defined in [RFC 1321](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1321). The raw hash is
    16  then encoded to lowercase hexadecimal digits before returning.
    17  
    18  Before using this function for anything security-sensitive, refer to
    19  [RFC 6151](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6151) for updated security
    20  considerations applying to the MD5 algorithm.
