+.PP
+.I hasher->finalise
+will be set to the pointer to a function that
+is an alternative to
+.I *hasher->finalise_const
+that can support zero-copy provided that the
+buffer input as the argument
+.I data
+is sufficiently large. The
+.I *hasher->finalise
+function may rewrite

+and shall is does not safe to use for multiple

+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon successful completion, the
+.B libhashsum_init_hasher
+function returns 0. Otherwise,
+the function returns -1 and sets

+to indicate the error. If -1
+is returned, the state of

+is undefined.
+
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.B libhashsum_init_hasher
+function fails if:
+.TP
+.B ENOSYS
+Support was excluded at compile time.
+.TP
+.B ENOSYS
+The selected algorithm requires a larger
+(newer) version
+.B union libhashsum_state
+(and thus a larger version of
+.BR "struct libhashsum_hasher" )
+than the application is compiled with.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The value of

+is unrecognised or unsupported.
