NAME

6       gnutls_hmac_init - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/crypto.h>
10
11       int gnutls_hmac_init(gnutls_hmac_hd_t * dig, gnutls_mac_algorithm_t al‐
12       gorithm, const void * key, size_t keylen);
13

ARGUMENTS

15       gnutls_hmac_hd_t * dig
16                   is a gnutls_hmac_hd_t type
17
18       gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm
19                   the HMAC algorithm to use
20
21       const void * key
22                   the key to be used for encryption
23
24       size_t keylen
25                   the length of the key
26

DESCRIPTION

28       This function will initialize an context that can be used to produce  a
29       Message  Authentication  Code (MAC) of data.  This will effectively use
30       the current crypto backend in use by gnutls or the cryptographic accel‐
31       erator in use.
32
33       Note  that  despite the name of this function, it can be used for other
34       MAC algorithms than HMAC.
35

RETURNS

37       Zero or a negative error code on error.
