The message specified by the +.I msg +parameter with the byte-size specified by the +.I msglen +parameter, will be hashed. +.PP +As a restriction specific to the +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_update () +function, the +.I msglen +argument must be an integer multiple of the bitrate +divided by eight. This is returned by the +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_chunksize (3) +function. The +.BR libkeccak_update (3) +or +.BR libkeccak_fast_update (3) +functions can be used to avoid this restriction, +but these, unlike the +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_update () +function, will copy the message and move around +copied data. +.SH RETURN VALUES +The +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_update () +function does not return a value. +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_update () +function cannot fail. +.SH NOTES +Neither parameter by be +.I NULL +or 0. +.PP +It is safe call the +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_update () +function before the +.BR libkeccak_update (3), +.BR libkeccak_fast_update (3) +.BR libkeccak_digest (3) +and +.BR libkeccak_fast_digest (3) +functions with the same +.I state +argument. However, calling the +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_update () +function after the +.BR libkeccak_update (3) +or +.BR libkeccak_fast_update (3) +functions may cause the message +to be misread. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR libkeccak_state_initialise (3), +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_chunksize (3), +.BR libkeccak_fast_update (3), +.BR libkeccak_update (3), +.BR libkeccak_fast_digest (3), +.BR libkeccak_zerocopy_digest (3), +.BR libkeccak_digest (3) |
