💖 shishi_checksum_parse — from the shishi manual, section 3 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're meeting shishi_checksum_parse — yes she's an API function, yes she's iconic, yes she's about to make your string-to-checksum-type pipeline slay 💅

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_checksum_parse — it's an API function, periodt. that's the whole job title. short, sweet, main character energy 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so here's the vibe check, the way you actually summon her:

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_checksum_parse(const char * checksum);

like. that's it. that's the whole incantation. no cap ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • const char * checksum — this is the name of the checksum type, bestie. and not just any name, a string name. the manpage's own example is literally "hmac-sha1-96-aes256", so that's the flavor of thing you're passing in here. a lil string that describes a checksum. she reads it. she gets it. 🦋

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so the whole point: you hand her a string, and she gets the checksum number by parsing that string. that's the tea. string goes in, checksum number comes out. it's giving "translator for checksum names" and honestly? obsessed. 😭

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

she returns the checksum type — and the docs point you at Shishi_cksumtype for the full picture — corresponding to that string you gave her. so like, the return value is the answer to "which checksum is this string talking about". 💖

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

found a bug? don't just suffer in silence, bestie, report it:
