Trf_MDStart(3)

✨ Trf_MDStart ✨

okay bestie, so we're in the Library Functions Manual today and this one is literally a tiny little function pointer type, but it's giving very important, iykyk 💅

💖 NAME 💖

Trf_MDStart — it's the interface to procedures for initialization of a MD context, no cap 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <transform.h>

void Trf_MDStart(void *context);

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

• void *context — the state you're gonna initialize, babe. that's the whole job ✨

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea 🍓: a procedure of this type is the one that gets called to initialize the structure that holds the state of a special message digest algorithm.

the memory block? already allocated by the caller, bestie, not your problem 🙈 — and its size is exactly whatever the Trf_MessageDigestDescription structure of the algorithm says it should be. so you just roll up, initialize the state, and slay 💅

lowkey important: the memory is not yours to allocate here. it shows up ready to go, sized to spec, and you just fill it in.
