I don't know what you want to do. But I want to suggest that in most
cases you should use SHA-1 or some other bigger hash function than MD5.

>  (char * ) md5function(char * arg1 )

/* needed variables */
md5_state_t temp;
md5_byte_t result[16]);

/* the md5 calls */
md5_init(&temp);
md5_append(&temp, arg1, strlen(arg1));
md5_finish(&temp, result);

... the result is now in result ... but it's binary! You might convert
it to base64 or hex ... that's up to you and what you want the digest
for.
