.SH "NAME"
ne_strhash, ne_vstrhash \- string hash interface
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.ft B
.nf
#include <ne_string\&.h>
.fi
.ft
.HP \w'char\ *ne_strhash('u
.BI "char *ne_strhash(unsigned\ int\ " "flags" ", " "\&.\&.\&." ");"
.HP \w'char\ *ne_vstrhash('u
.BI "char *ne_vstrhash(unsigned\ int\ " "flags" ", va_list\ " "ap" ");"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBne_strhash\fR
and
\fBne_vstrhash\fR
functions can be used to create hashes\&. The varargs argument list must be
\fBconst char *\fR
strings followed by a
NULL
terminator\&. The
\fIflags\fR
argument must select exactly one hash algorithm from the list below, which can be optionally bitwise\-ORed with one of the formatting option\&. The hash is calculated for the concatenation of the argument list, without separators\&.
.SS "Hash algorithms"
.PP
The following hash algorithms are available:
.PP
\fBNE_HASH_MD5\fR
.RS 4
MD5
.RE
.PP
\fBNE_HASH_SHA256\fR
.RS 4
SHA\-256 (SHA\-2)
.RE
.PP
\fBNE_HASH_SHA512\fR
.RS 4
SHA\-512 (SHA\-2)
.RE
.PP
\fBNE_HASH_SHA256_256\fR
.RS 4
SHA\-512/256 (SHA\-2)
.RE
.SS "Formatting options"
.PP
By default, the hash is returned as a hexadecimal lower\-case character string\&. The following formatting options are available:
.PP
\fBNE_HASH_COLON\fR
.RS 4
colon\-separated hex pairs, e\&.g\&.
"aa:11:22\&.\&.\&."
.RE
.PP
\fBNE_HASH_SPACE\fR
.RS 4
space\-separated hex pairs, e\&.g\&.
"aa 11 22\&.\&.\&."
.RE
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
The return value is the ASCII hexadecimal representation of the hash as a malloc\-allocated, NUL\-terminated string, or
NULL
if the hash cannot be created\&. The string length is determined by the hash algorithm (and formatting options used)\&. Support for hash algorithms is specific to the SSL toolkit with which neon is compiled\&. Some systems will further restrict hash availability at runtime, e\&.g\&. due to FIPS mode\&.
.SH "HISTORY"
.PP
\fBne_strhash\fR
and
\fBne_vstrhash\fR
is available in neon 0\&.32\&.0 and later\&.
