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

okay so this page lives in the gnutls manual, and it's literally just one tiny function that tells you how big a hash is. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_hash_get_len — an API function 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

unsigned gnutls_hash_get_len(gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algorithm);

like. look at her. so small. so powerful. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algorithm — the hash algorithm you wanna use, bestie 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what this function does is it returns the length of the output data of whatever hash algorithm you hand it. that's the whole job. you give it an algorithm, it tells you how many bytes come out the other end. no cap. ✨

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

the length — or zero on error 😭 (yeah, zero is the "something went wrong" signal here, keep that in mind)

🎀 SINCE 🎀

2.10.0 — she's been around a minute, iconic behavior 🌈

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈
