DESCRIPTION

42       Provides an interface to the SHA224 digest algorithm.
43

EXPORT

45       Nothing is exported by default.
46
47       You can export selected functions:
48
49         use Crypt::Digest::SHA224 qw(sha224 sha224_hex sha224_b64 sha224_b64u
50                                             sha224_file sha224_file_hex sha224_file_b64 sha224_file_b64u);
51
52       Or all of them at once:
53
54         use Crypt::Digest::SHA224 ':all';
55

FUNCTIONS

57   sha224
58       Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its
59       SHA224 digest encoded as a binary string.
60
61        $sha224_raw = sha224('data string');
62        #or
63        $sha224_raw = sha224('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');
64
65   sha224_hex
66       Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its
67       SHA224 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.
68
69        $sha224_hex = sha224_hex('data string');
70        #or
71        $sha224_hex = sha224_hex('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');
72
73   sha224_b64
74       Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its
75       SHA224 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding.
76
77        $sha224_b64 = sha224_b64('data string');
78        #or
79        $sha224_b64 = sha224_b64('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');
80
81   sha224_b64u
82       Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its
83       SHA224 digest encoded as a Base64 URL Safe string (see RFC 4648 section
84       5).
85
86        $sha224_b64url = sha224_b64u('data string');
87        #or
88        $sha224_b64url = sha224_b64u('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');
89
90   sha224_file
91       Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its
92       SHA224 digest encoded as a binary string.
93
94        $sha224_raw = sha224_file('filename.dat');
95        #or
96        $sha224_raw = sha224_file(*FILEHANDLE);
97
98   sha224_file_hex
99       Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its
100       SHA224 digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.
101
102        $sha224_hex = sha224_file_hex('filename.dat');
103        #or
104        $sha224_hex = sha224_file_hex(*FILEHANDLE);
105
106       BEWARE: You have to make sure that the filehandle is in binary mode
107       before you pass it as argument to the addfile() method.
108
109   sha224_file_b64
110       Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its
111       SHA224 digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding.
112
113        $sha224_b64 = sha224_file_b64('filename.dat');
114        #or
115        $sha224_b64 = sha224_file_b64(*FILEHANDLE);
116
117   sha224_file_b64u
118       Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its
119       SHA224 digest encoded as a Base64 URL Safe string (see RFC 4648 section
120       5).
121
122        $sha224_b64url = sha224_file_b64u('filename.dat');
123        #or
124        $sha224_b64url = sha224_file_b64u(*FILEHANDLE);
