Crypt::...Tiger192(3)

okay bestie, welcome to the Crypt::...Tiger192(3) page, straight from User Contributed Perl Documentation — yes, that's the manual name, and we're about to make Tiger-192 make sense fr fr 🐯✨

💖 NAME 💖

Crypt::Digest::Tiger192 — Hash function Tiger-192 [size: 192 bits] 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

two ways to vibe here: the functional interface and the OO interface. both iconic, no cap 🫶

### Functional interface:
use Crypt::Digest::Tiger192 qw( tiger192 tiger192_hex tiger192_b64 tiger192_b64u
                             tiger192_file tiger192_file_hex tiger192_file_b64 tiger192_file_b64u );

# calculate digest from string/buffer
my $data = 'data string';
my $tiger192_raw  = tiger192($data);
my $tiger192_hex  = tiger192_hex($data);
my $tiger192_b64  = tiger192_b64($data);
my $tiger192_b64u = tiger192_b64u($data);
# or from file
my $tiger192_file_raw  = tiger192_file('filename.dat');
my $tiger192_file_hex  = tiger192_file_hex('filename.dat');
my $tiger192_file_b64  = tiger192_file_b64('filename.dat');
my $tiger192_file_b64u = tiger192_file_b64u('filename.dat');
# or from filehandle
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $tiger192_fh_raw  = tiger192_file($filehandle);
my $tiger192_fh_hex  = tiger192_file_hex($filehandle);
my $tiger192_fh_b64  = tiger192_file_b64($filehandle);
my $tiger192_fh_b64u = tiger192_file_b64u($filehandle);

### OO interface:
use Crypt::Digest::Tiger192;

my $d = Crypt::Digest::Tiger192->new;
$d->add('any data');
my $result_raw  = $d->digest;     # raw bytes
my $result_hex  = $d->hexdigest;  # hexadecimal form
my $result_b64  = $d->b64digest;  # Base64 form
my $result_b64u = $d->b64udigest; # Base64 URL-safe form

# or hash a file instead
my $file_result_raw = Crypt::Digest::Tiger192->new->addfile('filename.dat')->digest;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Provides an interface to the Tiger192 digest algorithm. that's the whole mood, bestie 💖

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

Nothing is exported by default. very demure, very mindful ✨

You can export selected functions:

use Crypt::Digest::Tiger192 qw(tiger192 tiger192_hex tiger192_b64 tiger192_b64u
                                    tiger192_file tiger192_file_hex tiger192_file_b64 tiger192_file_b64u);

Or all of them at once:

use Crypt::Digest::Tiger192 ':all';

🔥 FUNCTIONS 🔥

functional-interface besties, this is your moment 🌈

🌸 tiger192

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a binary string 💅

Data arguments for the functional helpers are converted to byte strings using Perl's usual scalar stringification. Defined scalars, including numbers and string-overloaded objects, are accepted. undef is treated as an empty string and may emit Perl's usual "uninitialized value" warning. The same rules apply to tiger192_hex, tiger192_b64, and tiger192_b64u.

my $tiger192_raw = tiger192('data string');
#or
my $tiger192_raw = tiger192('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

🌸 tiger192_hex

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string ✨

my $tiger192_hex = tiger192_hex('data string');
#or
my $tiger192_hex = tiger192_hex('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

🌸 tiger192_b64

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding 🎀

my $tiger192_b64 = tiger192_b64('data string');
#or
my $tiger192_b64 = tiger192_b64('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

🌸 tiger192_b64u

Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5) 🦋

my $tiger192_b64url = tiger192_b64u('data string');
#or
my $tiger192_b64url = tiger192_b64u('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

🌸 tiger192_file

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a binary string 💖

my $tiger192_raw = tiger192_file('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $tiger192_raw = tiger192_file($filehandle);

🌸 tiger192_file_hex

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string ⭐

my $tiger192_hex = tiger192_file_hex('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $tiger192_hex = tiger192_file_hex($filehandle);

Note: The filehandle must be in binary mode before you pass it to addfile(). 🚨

🌸 tiger192_file_b64

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding 🌈

my $tiger192_b64 = tiger192_file_b64('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $tiger192_b64 = tiger192_file_b64($filehandle);

🌸 tiger192_file_b64u

Reads a file given by a filename or filehandle and returns its Tiger192 digest encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5) 🧚

my $tiger192_b64url = tiger192_file_b64u('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
my $tiger192_b64url = tiger192_file_b64u($filehandle);

💜 METHODS 💜

The OO interface provides the same set of functions as Crypt::Digest. Unless noted otherwise, assume $d is an existing digest object created via "new", for example:

my $d = Crypt::Digest::Tiger192->new();

✨ new

my $d = Crypt::Digest::Tiger192->new();

✨ clone

$d->clone();

✨ reset

$d->reset();

✨ add

Appends data to the message. Returns the object itself (for chaining) 🔥

Each argument is converted to bytes using Perl's usual scalar stringification. Defined scalars, including numbers and string-overloaded objects, are accepted. undef is treated as an empty string and may emit Perl's usual "uninitialized value" warning.

$d->add('any data');
#or
$d->add('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

✨ addfile

Reads the file content and appends it to the message. Returns the object itself (for chaining) 🫶

$d->addfile('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
$d->addfile($filehandle);

✨ hashsize

here's the size-check call set, no extra lore attached 💅

$d->hashsize;
#or
Crypt::Digest::Tiger192->hashsize();
#or
Crypt::Digest::Tiger192::hashsize();

✨ digest

Returns the binary digest (raw bytes). The first call finalizes the digest object. Any later add(), addfile(), digest(), hexdigest(), b64digest(), or b64udigest() call will fail until you call reset() 😭

my $result_raw = $d->digest();

✨ hexdigest

Returns the digest encoded as a lowercase hexadecimal string. Like digest(), the first call finalizes the digest object ✨

my $result_hex = $d->hexdigest();

✨ b64digest

Returns the digest encoded as a Base64 string with trailing "=" padding. Like digest(), the first call finalizes the digest object 🎀

my $result_b64 = $d->b64digest();

✨ b64udigest

Returns the digest encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (no trailing "="). Like digest(), the first call finalizes the digest object 🦋

my $result_b64url = $d->b64udigest();
