The hash +algorithm is tuned by the +.I semicapacity +and +.I output +parameters; they specify the half of the capacity and the +output size, respectively, in bits. +.PP +The hash is stored in binary form to +.IR hashsum . +.I hashsum +should have an allocation size of at least +.RI ((( output ++ 7) / 8) * sizeof(char)). +.PP +.I *state +should not be initialised. +.BR libkeccak_shakesum_fd () +initialises +.I *state +itself. Therefore there would be a memory leak if +.I *state +is already initialised. +.SH RETURN VALUES +The +.BR libkeccak_shakesum_fd () +function returns 0 upon successful completion. +On error, -1 is returned and +.I errno +is set to describe the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR libkeccak_shakesum_fd () +function may fail for any reason, except those resulting in +.I errno +being set to +.BR EINTR , +specified for the functions +.BR read (2), +.BR malloc (3), +and +.BR realloc (3). +.SH NOTES +Be aware, +.BR libkeccak_shakesum_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_shakesum_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_shakesum_fd () +does not stop if interrupted +.RB ( read (2) +returns +.BR EINTR .) +.PP +.BR libkeccak_shakesum_fd () +assumes all information is non-sensitive, and will +therefore not perform any secure erasure of information. +.PP +.BR libkeccak_shakesum_fd () +does not validate the tuning of the algorithm. +.SH EXAMPLE +This example calculates the SHAKE256(, 512) hash of the input +from stdin, and prints the hash, in hexadecimal form, to stdout. +.LP +.nf +libkeccak_state_t state; +if (libkeccak_shakesum_fd(STDIN_FILENO, &state, 256, 512, binhash) < 0) + goto fail; +libkeccak_behex_lower(hexhash, binhash, sizeof(binhash)); +printf("%s\\n", hexhash); +libkeccak_state_destroy(&state); +.fi +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR libkeccak_behex_lower (3), +.BR libkeccak_behex_upper (3), +.BR libkeccak_generalised_sum_fd (3), +.BR libkeccak_keccaksum_fd (3), +.BR libkeccak_sha3sum_fd (3), +.BR libkeccak_rawshakesum_fd (3), +.BR libkeccak_spec_shake (3), +.BR libkeccak_spec_check (3), +.BR libkeccak_generalised_spec_initialise (3), +.BR libkeccak_state_initialise (3) +.SH BUGS +Please report bugs to https://github.com/maandree/libkeccak/issues or to +maandree@kth.se |
