=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<EVP_MD> type is a structure for digest method implementation.
It can also have associated public/private key signing and verifying
routines.
-EVP_MD_meth_new() creates a new B<EVP_MD> structure.
+EVP_MD_meth_new() creates a new B<EVP_MD> structure. Note that B<EVP_MD>
+structures are reference counted.
EVP_MD_meth_dup() creates a copy of B<md>.
-EVP_MD_meth_free() destroys a B<EVP_MD> structure.
+EVP_MD_meth_free() decrements the reference count for the B<EVP_MD> structure.
+If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed.
EVP_MD_meth_set_input_blocksize() sets the internal input block size
for the method B<md> to B<blocksize> bytes.
