+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR libsha2_sum_fd ()
+function hashes the file with the
+file descriptor
+.I fd
+with the selected
+.IR algorithm .
+The resulting hash is stored in binary
+format in
+.I hashsum .
+The user must make sure that
+.I hashsum
+is sufficiently large, which means at
+least the return value of the
+.BR libsha2_algorithm_output_size (3)
+function.
+.PP
+The
+.BR libsha2_behex_lower (3)
+and
+.BR libsha2_behex_upper (3)
+functions can be used to convert the
+result to hexadecimal format.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR libsha2_sum_fd ()
+function returns 0 upon successful completion,
+otherwise -1 is returned and
+.I errno
+is set appropriately.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+.BR libsha2_sum_fd ()
+function may fail for any reason specified for the
+.BR read (3)
+and
+.BR libsha2_init (3)
+functions.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
