.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR libar2_validate_params ()
function checks that the hashing parameters
provided in the
.I params
parameters are valid and can be used for
hashing by the libar2 library. An error
description will be stored in
.I *errmsgp
unless
.I errmsgp
is
.IR NULL .
.PP
Only the first discovered invalid data
will be described.
.PP
.I params
may not be
.IR NULL .
.SH RETURN VALUES
The
.BR libar2_validate_params ()
function returns
.I LIBAR2_OK
(which has the value 0) and stores the
statically allocated string
.B \(dqOK\(dq
in
.I *errmsgp
(unless
.I errmsgp
is
.IR NULL )
if the input is valid. If the input is
invalid, an error code (with a positive
value) will returned and description of
what is incorrect is stored in
.I *errmsgp
(unless
.I errmsgp
is
.IR NULL ).
The return values that indicate invalid
input, in the current version of the
function are:
.TP
.B LIBAR2_T_COST_TOO_SMALL
The time-cost parameter is too small.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_T_COST_TOO_LARGE
The time-cost parameter is too large.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_M_COST_TOO_SMALL
The memory-cost parameter is too small.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_M_COST_TOO_LARGE
The memory-cost parameter is too large.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_TOO_FEW_LANES
The lane-count parameter is too small.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_TOO_MANY_LANES
The lane-count parameter is too large
.TP
.B LIBAR2_SALT_TOO_SMALL
The salt parameter is too small.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_SALT_TOO_LARGE
The salt parameter is too large.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_KEY_TOO_LARGE
The secret (pepper) parameter is too large.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_AD_TOO_LARGE
The associated data parameter is too large.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_HASH_TOO_SMALL
The tag length is too small.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_HASH_TOO_LARGE
The tag length is too large.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_INVALID_TYPE
The primitive type parameter is not supported
by the linked version of the libar2 library.
.TP
.B LIBAR2_INVALID_VERSION
The Argon2 version parameter is not supported
by the linked version of the libar2 library.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR libar2_validate_params ()
function cannot fail.
