.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B libhashsum_init_blakes_hasher
function initialises
.I *hasher
for hashing using the cryptographic hash function BLAKEs
(a version of BLAKE), and stores hash function information
and hashing functions for BLAKEs in
.IR *hasher .
.PP
.I hashbits
shall be the hash size in bits, which shall be either 224 or 256.
.PP
.I salt
shall be
.I NULL
or a buffer of 16 bytes that shall be used as a salt
.RI ( NULL
is equivalent to all zeroes).
.PP
.I hasher->algorithm
will be set to either
.I LIBHASHSUM_BLAKE224
(if
.I hashbits
is 224) or
.I LIBHASHSUM_BLAKE256
if
.I hashbits
is 256).
.PP
.I hasher->algorithm_string
will be set to
.RB \(dq BLAKE \fIhashbits\fP\(dq
or (if
.I salt
is neither
.I NULL
nor all zeroes)
.RB \(dq BLAKE \fIhashbits\fP[salt= \fIlowercase_hexadecimal(salt)\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 BLAKEs uses, in bytes.
.PP
.I hasher->hash_size
will be set to the hash size, in bytes
.RI ( hashbits/8 ).
.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
.IR NULL .
.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_blakes_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_blakes_hasher
function fails if:
.TP
.B ENOSYS
Support was excluded at compile time.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I hashbits
is either 224 nor 256.

.SH HISTORY
libhashsum 1.0.

.SH NOTES
.I libhashsum_init_blakes_hasher(hasher, 224, salt)
and
.I libhashsum_init_blakes_hasher(hasher, 256, salt)
are equivalent to
.I libhashsum_init_blake224_hasher(hasher, salt)
and
.I libhashsum_init_blake256_hasher(hasher, salt)
respectively.
