+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B libhashsum_init_shake256_hasher
+function initialises
+.I *hasher
+for hashing using the cryptographic hash function
+SHAKE256 (a version of SHAKE), and stores hash
+function information and hashing functions for
+SHAKE256 in
+.IR *hasher .
+.PP
+.I hashbits
+shall the hash size in bits or 0, for the default
+hash size (256 bits).
+.PP
+.I hasher->algorithm
+will be set to
+.IR LIBHASHSUM_SHAKE256 .
+.PP
+.I hasher->algorithm_string
+will be set to
+.RB \(dq SHAKE256 \(dq,
+or (if
+.I hashbits
+is neither 0 nor 256)
+.RB \(dq SHAKE256[n= \fIhashbits\fP ] \(dq,
+in which case
+.I hasher->algorithm_string
+will point to a buffer in
+.IR hasher->state .
+.PP
+.I hasher->input_block_size
+will be set to the block size SHAKE256 uses, in bytes.
+.PP
+.I hasher->hash_size
+will be set to the size of SHAKE256 hashes, in bytes
+.RI ( LIBHASHSUM_SHAKE256_HASH_SIZE
+if
+.I hashbits
+is 0 or 256).
+.PP
+.I hasher->hash_output
+will be set to
+.IR NULL .
+.PP
+.I hasher->supports_non_whole_bytes
+will be set to 1
+to indicate that the
+.I *hasher->finalise
+and
+.I *hasher->finalise_const
+functions support non-zero values in their
+.I extra_bits
+parameter.
+.PP
+.I hasher->process
+will be set to a pointer to the function to call
+to feed, and process, data into the hash function.
+Its parameter
+.I this
+shall be set to
+.IR hasher .
+Its parameter
+.I data
+parameter shall be set to the buffer of data to
+process, and its parameter
+.I bytes
+shall set to the number of bytes to process from
+.IR data .
+.I *hasher->process
+will return the number of bytes processed, which
+will be a multiple of
+.IR hasher->input_block_size
+no greater than
+.IR bytes .
+.PP
+.I hasher->finalise_const
+will be set to a pointer to the function to call
+once the entire text being hashed has been loaded,
+and to get the hash of the text. It's parameter
+.I this
+shall be set to
+.IR hasher .
+Its parameter
+.I data
+shall be set to the beginning of any yet unprocessed
+data, and its parameter
+.I bytes
+shall be set to the number of bytes to process from
+.IR data .
+Its parameter
+.I extra_bits
+shall be set to the number of bits to process from
+the lower bits of the incomplete byte
+.IR data[bytes] .
+The
+.I *hasher->finalise_const
+function will return 0 upon successful completion,
+and set
+.I hasher->hash_output
+to a pointer to a buffer in
+.I hasher->state
+containing the binary hash of the processed data.
+Otherwise, the function will return -1, and set
+.I errno
+to indicate the error. The function will failure
+if:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I extra_bits
+is 8 or greater.
+.RE
+.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
+.I data
+and shall is does not safe to use for multiple
+hashers (if the same text is hashed using multiple
+hashers,
+.I *hasher->finalise_const
+must be used). The
+function's parameter
+.I size
+shall be set to the size of the buffer
+.IR data .
+.I *hasher->finalise
+is otherwise identical to
+.IR *hasher->finalise_const .
+.PP
+.I hasher->destroy
+will be set to a pointer to a function to to
+call, with
+.I hasher
+as the argument, deallocate dynamically
+allocated data, which may invalidate any
+pointer in
+.IR *hasher .
+.PP
+.I hasher->state
+will be initialised, it shall be treated as
+internal to the library's implementation, and
+may change between versions.
+.PP
+.I hasher
+must not be
+.IR NULL .
+
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon successful completion, the
+.B libhashsum_init_shake256_hasher
+function returns 0. Otherwise,
+the function returns -1 and sets
+.I errno
+to indicate the error. If -1
+is returned, the state of
+.I *hasher
+is undefined.
+
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.B libhashsum_init_shake256_hasher
+function fails if:
+.TP
+.B ENOSYS
+Support was excluded at compile time.
+.TP
+.B ENOMEM
+Insufficient memory available.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I hashbits
+is too large.
