🦋 sha3_512_init(9) 🦋

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — today’s main character is sha3_512_init(9), and she is here to start a SHA3-512 situation for you. no cap, this one is short and sweet.

💖 NAME 💖

sha3_512_init — Initialize a context for SHA3-512.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sha3_512_init (struct sha3_ctx *ctx );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctx — The context to initialize. That’s the whole assignment, bestie.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This begins a new SHA3-512 message digest computation. Like, you call it and the SHA3-512 computation is officially beginning — fresh start energy, periodt.

🫶 CONTEXT 🫶

Any context. Literally any context is invited to the function; it’s giving open-door policy.
