💖 gnutls_hash(3) — the NAME bit 💖

okay so bestie, this page lives in the gnutls manual, and it's all about one little function: gnutls_hash — an API function. that's it, that's the name. short, sweet, iconic. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's how you even get to it:

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

int gnutls_hash(gnutls_hash_hd_t handle, const void * ptext, size_t
ptext_len);

she's a three-argument girlie and she's serving. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_hash_hd_t handle — this is a gnutls_hash_hd_t type, literally what it says on the tin. your handle, your context, your main character. 💅
  • const void * ptext — the data to hash. the actual snack being fed in. 🍓
  • size_t ptext_len — the length of data to hash. how much of the snack. 😌

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does she do? this function will hash the given data using the algorithm specified by the context. that's the whole vibe — you bring the data, the context already knows which algorithm it's on, and boom. hashed. no cap. 🔥

👑 RETURNS 👑

zero or a negative error code on error. so if you get 0, slay, we ate. if you get something negative, that's your signal that it went sideways, bestie. 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.10.0 — she's been around a minute. veteran energy. 🫶
