+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsha2_init ()
+function stores the selected
+.I algorithm
+in
+.I state
+and initialises
+.I state
+accordingly with the initial hashing state.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsha2_init ()
+function returns 0 upon successful completion,
+otherwise -1 is returned and
+.I errno
+is set appropriately.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsha2_init ()
+function will fail if:
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I algorithm
+is not a valid
+.B enum libsha2_algorithm
+value.
