+.TH LIBKECCAK_GENERALISED_SUM_FD 3 LIBKECCAK-%VERSION%
+.SH NAME
+libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd - Calculate the hash of a file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <libkeccak.h>
+.P
+int libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd(int \fIfd\fP, libkeccak_state_t *\fIstate\fP,
+                                 const libkeccak_spec_t *\fIspec\fP,
+                                 const char *\fIsuffix\fP, char *\fIhashsum\fP);
+.fi
+.P
+Link with \fI-lkeccak\fP.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+calculates the hash of a file, whose file desriptor is specified
+by \fIfd\fP (and should be at the beginning of the file.) The
+hash algorithm is specified by \fI*spec\fP and \fIsuffix\fP,
+where \fI*spec\fP is the tuning of the algorithm and \fIsuffix\fP
+is the bits append to the message (or \fINULL\fP if none.)
+.PP
+The hash is stored in binary form to \fIhashsum\fP. \fIhashsum\fP
+should have an allocation size of at least
+(((\fIspec->output\fP + 7) / 8) * sizeof(char)).
+.PP
+\fI*state\fP should not be allocated.
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+initialises \fI*state\fP itself. Therefore there would be a
+memory leak if \fI*state\fP is already initialised.
+.SH RETURN VALUES
+The
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+function return 0 upon successful completion.
+On error, -1 is returned and \fIerrno\fP is set to describe
+the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+function may fail for any reason, except those resulting
+in \fIerrno\fP being set to \fBEINTR\fP, specified for the
+functions
+.BR read (2),
+.BR malloc (3),
+and
+.BR realloc (3).
+.SH NOTES
+Be aware,
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+hashes the file until the end has been reached. For pipes
+and sockets and this means until the file has been closed.
+But for character devices, this usually means never.
+Attempting to hash files in /dev is therefore usually a
+bad idea.
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+does not check for the file length or file type before
+hashing as this could limit what you can do, and make
+the library more complex.
+.PP
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+does not stop if interrupted (\fBread\fP(2) returns
+\fBEINTR\fP.)
+.PP
+.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd ()
+assumes all information is non-sensitive, and will
+therefore not perform any secure erasure of information.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+This example calculates the Keccak[b = 1024, c = 576, n = 256]
+hash of the input from stdin, and prints the hash, in hexadecimal
+form, to stdout.
+.LP
+.nf
+libkeccak_state_t state;
+libkeccak_spec_t spec;
+char binhash[256 / 8];
+char hexhash[256 / 8 * 2 + 1];
+
+spec.bitrate = 1024;
+spec.capacity = 576;
+spec.output = 256;
+
+if (libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd(STDIN_FILNO, &state, &spec, NULL, binhash) < 0)
+    goto fail;
+libkeccak_behex_lower(hexhash, binhash, sizeof(binhash));
+printf("%s\\n", hexhash);
