💖 shishi_md4(3) — the MD4 hashing girlie 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because this one is a lil function from the shishi manual (section 3, the library-calls section, iykyk) and she is so cute. her whole job? hashing ur data with MD4. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

shishi_md4 — an API function, no cap 🫶

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <shishi.h>

int shishi_md4(Shishi * handle, const char * in, size_t inlen, char *
out[16]);

like. look at her. five arguments and a dream 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • Shishi * handle — ur shishi handle, the one u got handed back when u called shishi_init(). she's the main character here fr.
  • const char * in — the input character array, aka the data u wanna hash. drop it in, bestie.
  • size_t inlen — how long that input character array is. yes u have to tell her. she's not psychic 😭
  • char * out[16] — a newly allocated character array that she fills up with the hash of ur data. she makes it, she hands it over, it's yours now 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

she computes the hash of ur data using MD4. that's the whole thing. iconic behavior honestly.

⚠️ heads up bestie: the out buffer must be deallocated by the caller. that means you, not her. she allocated it for u, but the cleanup is on u. no ghosting that buffer, ok?? 🫶

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

returns SHISHI_OK iff it was successful. that's the green flag. the "we ate" signal. 🍓
