• hb_macroBlock(<cExpr>) ➜ bCodeBlock
  converts the <cExpr> macro expression to codeblock. The created bCodeBlock codeblock does NOT inherit scope and/or attributes of the caller.

• hb_MD5(<cString>, [<lBin>]) ➜ cMD5
  calculates and returns the MD5 checksum of <cString>. On error, i.e. wrong params etc., it returns null (empty) string.
  <lBin> flag controls whether to return binary data or hexadecimal string, default is .F. (i.e. returns hexadecimal string)
  Note: MD5 algorithm is considered insecure. Use SHA256 or higher.
  See also: hb_SHA...() family of relevant functions.

• hb_MD5File(<cFileName>, [<lBin>]) ➜ cMD5
  same as above function, but used to calculate the checksum of a file instead of a string.

• hb_MD5Encrypt(<cText>, <cPasswd>) ➜ cCipher
  this function encrypts the given <cText> and returns a cipher (encrypted text).
  <cPasswd> is the password used to encrypt/decrypt text.
  Warning! on wrong call (f.e., when a param(s) omitted or their value types are improper (i.e., not char) the function returns NIL and the same apply to below hb_MD5Decrypt(), as well.

• hb_MD5Decrypt(<cCipher>, <cPasswd>) ➜ cText
  decrypts the <cCipher> created by hb_MD5Encrypt() (see above) and returns original text.

• hb_MemoRead(<cFile>) ➜ cString
  is identical to MemoRead() except it won't truncate the last byte (on non-UNIX compatible systems) if it's an EOF char.

• hb_MemoWrit( <cFileName>, <cString>) ➜ lSuccess
  writes (or save) a memo field or character string to a text file on disk. If not specified a path, <cFileName> is written to the current directory (ignores SET DEFAULT). If <cFileName> already exists, it is overwritten. Returns .T. on success or .F. on failure.
  NOTE: unlike MemoWrit(), this function never adds an EOF Chr( 26 ) character at the end of the created file.

• hb_Minute(<tTimeStamp>) ➜ nMinute
  returns the minute (mm) part (or "member") of a TimeStamp.

• hb_MLEval(<cString>, <bCode>, [<nLineLength>], [<nTabSize>], [<lWrap>], [<nPos>], [@<nRow>], [@<nCol>]) ➜ nLines
  enumerates (returns) the number of lines in <cString> following text format rules used by Cl*pper MemoEdit() (unlike of Cl*pper memo lines functions).
  For each line being processed, the <bCode> code-block is evaluated with 2 parameters: |<cLine>, <lSoftCR>|. It recognizes and accepts any EOL (end of lines) just like hb_ATokens( <cText>, .T. ) and strip out or converts CR (soft carriage returns) depending on <lWrap> word wrap mode.
  Default values for optional parameters: nLineLength ➜ 79, nTabSize ➜ 4, lWrap ➜ .T.

• hb_MSecToT(<nMilliseconds>) ➜ tTime
  converts milliseconds to tTimestamp value.

• hb_mvRestore(<cFileName>, [lAdditive], [cMask], [lIncludeMask]) ➜ xValue
  restores saved memory variables (public, privates). Returns: 1st restored value or NIL if no value restored or .F. on error.

• hb_mvSave(<cFileName>, [cMask] [, lIncludeMask]) ➜ NIL
  saves memory variables (public, privates), visible within the current procedure or user-defined function, to a memory file (.hbv). Supports variable names lengthier than 10 chars.
