💖 gnutls_hash_deinit(3) — the gnutls manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this one is a lil page from the gnutls manual and it's literally just about cleaning up after yourself. very demure. very mindful. let's go 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_hash_deinit — it's an API function, bestie. that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

void gnutls_hash_deinit(gnutls_hash_hd_t handle, void * digest);

look at her. two args. no return value. she just does the thing 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • gnutls_hash_hd_t handle — this is a gnutls_hash_hd_t type. yeah that's the description, that's what the original says, don't come for me 😭 it's a handle, it's typed, it's giving exactly what it says on the tin.
  • void * digest — this one is the output value of the hash 🍓 like, the actual digest bytes you've been cooking up.

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so here's the tea: this function will deinitialize all resources occupied by the given hash context. that's it. that's the whole job. it frees everything the hash context was hogging, no cap. main character energy but make it a cleanup crew 🌈

when you're done hashing, you call this. you hand over the handle and the digest, and she lets all that context go. so satisfying honestly ✨

not me getting emotional over a deinit function 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

2.10.0 — she's been iconic since way back, periodt 👑
