    public class MessageDigest
    extends AbstractTransformer
    Generates a message digest and forwards that. The digest is either generated on the string being passed through or from the content of a file (if a File object is used as input).
    If arrays are being passed into the actor, then the digest is computed over all of them.

    Input/output:
    - accepts:
       java.lang.String
       java.io.File
       java.lang.String[]
       java.io.File[]
    - generates:
       java.lang.String


    -logging-level <OFF|SEVERE|WARNING|INFO|CONFIG|FINE|FINER|FINEST> (property: loggingLevel)
        The logging level for outputting errors and debugging output.
        default: WARNING
     
    -name <java.lang.String> (property: name)
        The name of the actor.
        default: MessageDigest
     
    -annotation <adams.core.base.BaseAnnotation> (property: annotations)
        The annotations to attach to this actor.
        default: 
     
    -skip <boolean> (property: skip)
        If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded 
        as it is.
        default: false
     
    -stop-flow-on-error <boolean> (property: stopFlowOnError)
        If set to true, the flow execution at this level gets stopped in case this 
        actor encounters an error; the error gets propagated; useful for critical 
        actors.
        default: false
     
    -silent <boolean> (property: silent)
        If enabled, then no errors are output in the console; Note: the enclosing 
        actor handler must have this enabled as well.
        default: false
     
    -type <MD2|MD5|SHA1|SHA256|SHA384|SHA512> (property: type)
        The type of message digest (algorithm) to use.
        default: SHA256
