✨ gnutls_hash_init ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual section 3 page for gnutls_hash_init 💖 this is literally the function you call when you wanna start cooking up a message digest, and yes it's giving main character energy 🌸

🌈 NAME 🌈

gnutls_hash_init — it's an API function 🎀 that's the whole vibe, that's the whole name

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

int gnutls_hash_init(gnutls_hash_hd_t * dig, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t
algorithm);

like. that's it. that's the whole door you gotta walk through 🚪✨

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • gnutls_hash_hd_t * dig — bestie this is a gnutls_hash_hd_t type, it's the handle you're handing over so the function has somewhere to put your shiny new context 🫶
  • gnutls_digest_algorithm_t algorithm — the hash algorithm you wanna use, pick your fighter, choose wisely 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the way that this works is: gnutls_hash_init initializes a context that you can then use to produce a Message Digest of data ✨ and when I say it will effectively use the current crypto backend in use by gnutls, or the cryptographic accelerator in use — I mean it's lowkey just rolling with whatever the setup already is. no cap. 💜

⭐ RETURNS ⭐

Zero, or a negative error code on error 😭 that's the whole returns situation. zero = slay, negative = not slay.

🎀 SINCE 🎀

2.10.0 — been iconic since way back 🕰️👑
