public final class MessageDigestInputStream extends ObservableInputStream
This class is an example for using an `ObservableInputStream`. It creates its own `ObservableInputStream.Observer`, which calculates a checksum using a `MessageDigest`, for example, a SHA-512 sum.

To build an instance, use `MessageDigestInputStream.Builder`.

See the MessageDigest section in the Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation for information about standard algorithm names.

You must specify a message digest algorithm name or instance.

Note: Neither `ObservableInputStream`, nor `MessageDigest`, are thread safe, so is `MessageDigestInputStream`.

  2.15.0

- ## Method Details

  - ### builder

    public static MessageDigestInputStream.Builder builder()
    Constructs a new `MessageDigestInputStream.Builder`.
    Returns:
      a new `MessageDigestInputStream.Builder`.

  - ### getMessageDigest

    public MessageDigest getMessageDigest()
    Gets the `MessageDigest`, which is being used for generating the checksum.

    Note: The checksum will only reflect the data, which has been read so far. This is probably not, what you expect. Make sure, that the complete data has been read, if that is what you want. The easiest way to do so is by invoking `ObservableInputStream.consume()`.

    Returns:
      the message digest used
