|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
functions returns a hash of the given buffer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hash32_buf
|
|
function returns a 32 bit hash of
|
|
.Fa buf ,
|
|
which is
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
bytes long,
|
|
seeded with an initial hash of
|
|
.Fa ihash
|
|
(which is usually
|
|
.Dv HASH32_BUF_INIT ) .
|
|
This function may use a different algorithm to
|
|
.Fn hash32_str
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn hash32_strn .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hash32_str
|
|
function returns a 32 bit hash of
|
|
.Fa buf ,
|
|
which is
|
|
a
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
terminated
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
string,
|
|
seeded with an initial hash of
|
|
.Fa ihash
|
|
(which is usually
|
|
.Dv HASH32_STR_INIT ) .
|
|
This function must use the same algorithm as
|
|
.Fn hash32_strn ,
|
|
so that the same data returns the same hash.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn hash32_strn
|
|
function returns a 32 bit hash of
|
|
.Fa buf ,
|
|
which is
|
|
a
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
terminated
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
string,
|
|
up to a maximum of
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
bytes,
|
|
seeded with an initial hash of
|
|
.Fa ihash
|
|
(which is usually
|
|
.Dv HASH32_STR_INIT ) .
|
|
This function must use the same algorithm as
|
|
.Fn hash32_str ,
|
|
so that the same data returns the same hash.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ihash
|
|
parameter is provided to allow for incremental hashing by allowing
|
|
successive calls to use a previous hash value.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa hash32_*
|
|
functions return a 32 bit hash of the provided buffer.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The kernel hashing API first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 1.6 .
