💖 gnutls_hash_squeeze(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gnutls manual — yes, the whole manual is named gnutls, and this lil page right here is all about gnutls_hash_squeeze. it's giving "API function" energy and honestly? we're obsessed 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gnutls_hash_squeeze</puruple> — an API function, aka the glow-up moment where you squeeze digest output out of your hash handle 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

int gnutls_hash_squeeze(gnutls_hash_hd_t handle, void * output, size_t
length);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gnutls_hash_hd_t handle — a gnutls_hash_hd_t, your main character handle 🧚
  • void * output — the destination where we store the output; it must be equal to or larger than length, no cap
  • size_t length — length of output

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this function will extract digest output of length bytes. periodt.

the handle must be initialized with gnutls_hash_init() as an extended output function (XOF), like GNUTLS_DIG_SHAKE_128 or GNUTLS_DIG_SHAKE_256. iykyk ✨

you can call this function multiple times, it's not a one-and-done situation 💖 and if you wanna reset the state of handle, call gnutls_hash_deinit() with NULL as the digest argument. iconic behavior tbh.

💜 RETURNS 💜

GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) on success — slay 💅 — or a negative error code otherwise 😭

⭐ SINCE ⭐

3.8.6 — she's been here a minute, lowkey a legend 👑
