70 functions calculate a 160-bit cryptographic checksum (digest)
71 for any number of input bytes.
72 A cryptographic checksum is a one-way
73 hash function; that is, it is computationally impractical to find
74 the input corresponding to a particular output.
78 of the input-data, which does not disclose the actual input.
83 is the original Secure Hash Algorithm specified in
86 It was quickly proven insecure, and has been superseded by
89 is included for compatibility purposes only.
96 functions are the core functions.
101 run over the data with

109 which converts the return value to a 41-character
110 (including the terminating '\e0')
112 string which represents the 160 bits in hexadecimal.
115 calculates the digest of a file, and uses
117 to return the result.
118 If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned.
122 but it only calculates the digest over a byte-range of the file specified,
130 parameter is specified as 0, or more than the length of the remaining part

137 calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses
139 to return the result.
148 argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string
151 and subsequently must be explicitly deallocated using
156 argument is non-null it must point to at least 41 characters of buffer space.
164 These functions appeared in
167 The core hash routines were implemented by Eric Young based on the
172 No method is known to exist which finds two files having the same hash value,
173 nor to find a file with a specific hash value.
174 There is on the other hand no guarantee that such a method does not exist.
178 (Intel) implementation of
180 makes heavy use of the
182 instruction, which is not present on the original 80386.
185 on those processors will cause an illegal instruction trap.
186 (Arguably, the kernel should simply emulate this instruction.)
