.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.
