💖 Trf_MDFinal 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Trf_MDFinal(3) from the Library Functions Manual — she's the interface to procedures for generation of the final digest from a MD state, and she's literally the last girl standing at the party. the one who wraps everything up. the closer. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Trf_MDFinal — the interface to procedures for generation of the final digest from a MD state. no cap. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <transform.h>

void Trf_MDFinal
(
     void *context,
     void *digest
);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • void *context — the state you're about to finalize. like, the whole vibe up to this point. 💅
  • void *digest — the result area you're filling in. this is where the glow-up gets written down. ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so a procedure of this type gets called after processing the final character. it is its responsibility — nobody else's, main character energy only — to finalize the internal state of the MD algorithm, and to generate the resulting digest from that. 🫶

tl;dr: last character goes in, finalized state comes out, digest gets made. iconic behaviour fr fr. 🌈

not me emphasizing this again but: the finalize + generate is literally this procedure's job. if you're the one writing it, that's on you, bestie. 💀
