45 * Convert a binary hash in "unsigned char []" or an object name in
46 * "struct object_id *" to its hex equivalent. The `_r` variant is reentrant,
47 * and writes the NUL-terminated output to the buffer `out`, which must be at
48 * least `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ + 1` bytes, and returns a pointer to out for
49 * convenience.
51 * The non-`_r` variant returns a static buffer, but uses a ring of 4
52 * buffers, making it safe to make multiple calls for a single statement, like:
54 * printf("%s -> %s", hash_to_hex(one), hash_to_hex(two));

64 * Parse a 40-character hexadecimal object ID starting from hex, updating the
65 * pointer specified by end when parsing stops. The resulting object ID is
66 * stored in oid. Returns 0 on success. Parsing will stop on the first NUL or
67 * other invalid character. end is only updated on success; otherwise, it is
68 * unmodified.

79 * a hex value for any algorithm. The algorithm is detected based on the length
80 * and the algorithm in use is returned. If this is not a hex object ID in any
81 * algorithm, returns GIT_HASH_UNKNOWN.
