NAME

6       ne_strhash, ne_vstrhash - string hash interface
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <ne_string.h>
10
11       char *ne_strhash(unsigned int flags, ...);
12
13       char *ne_vstrhash(unsigned int flags, va_list ap);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The ne_strhash and ne_vstrhash functions can be used to create hashes.
17       The varargs argument list must be const char * strings followed by a
18       NULL terminator. The flags argument must select exactly one hash
19       algorithm from the list below, which can be optionally bitwise-ORed
20       with one of the formatting option. The hash is calculated for the
21       concatenation of the argument list, without separators.
22
23   Hash algorithms
24       The following hash algorithms are available:
25
26       NE_HASH_MD5
27           MD5
28
29       NE_HASH_SHA256
30           SHA-256 (SHA-2)
31
32       NE_HASH_SHA512
33           SHA-512 (SHA-2)
34
35       NE_HASH_SHA256_256
36           SHA-512/256 (SHA-2)
37
38   Formatting options
39       By default, the hash is returned as a hexadecimal lower-case character
40       string. The following formatting options are available:
41
42       NE_HASH_COLON
43           colon-separated hex pairs, e.g.  "aa:11:22..."
44
45       NE_HASH_SPACE
46           space-separated hex pairs, e.g.  "aa 11 22..."
47

RETURN VALUE

49       The return value is the ASCII hexadecimal representation of the hash as
50       a malloc-allocated, NUL-terminated string, or NULL if the hash cannot
51       be created. The string length is determined by the hash algorithm (and
52       formatting options used). Support for hash algorithms is specific to
53       the SSL toolkit with which neon is compiled. Some systems will further
54       restrict hash availability at runtime, e.g. due to FIPS mode.
