# Module Sha512

    module Sha512: sig .. end

SHA512 OCaml binding

    type ctx

Context type - opaque.

    type buf = (int, Stdlib.Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt, Stdlib.Bigarray.c_layout)
           Stdlib.Bigarray.Array1.t

Buffer type.

    type t

Digest type - opaque.

    val zero : t

The zero digest.

    val init : unit -> ctx

Create a new context.

    val unsafe_update_substring : ctx -> string -> int -> int -> unit

`Sha512.unsafe_update_substring ctx s ofs len` updates the context with the substring of `s` starting at character number `ofs` and containing `len` characters. Unsafe: No range checking!

    val update_substring : ctx -> string -> int -> int -> unit

`Sha512.update_substring ctx s ofs len` updates the context with the substring of `s` starting at character number `ofs` and containing `len` characters.

    val update_string : ctx -> string -> unit

`Sha512.update_string ctx s` updates the context with `s`.

    val update_buffer : ctx -> buf -> unit

`Sha512.update_buffer ctx a` updates the context with `a`. Runs parallel to other threads if any exist.

    val finalize : ctx -> t

Finalize the context and return digest.

    val copy : ctx -> ctx

Return a copy of the context.

    val string : string -> t

Return the digest of the given string.

    val substring : string -> int -> int -> t

`Sha512.substring s ofs len` returns the digest of the substring of `s` starting at character number `ofs` and containing `len` characters.

    val buffer : buf -> t

Return the digest of the given buffer.

    val channel : Stdlib.in_channel -> int -> t

If `len` is nonnegative, `Sha512.channel ic len` reads `len` characters from channel `ic` and returns their digest, or raises `End_of_file` if end-of-file is reached before `len` characters are read. If `len` is negative, `Sha512.channel ic len` reads all characters from `ic` until end-of-file is reached and return their digest.

    val file : string -> t

Return the digest of the file whose name is given.

    val file_fast : string -> t

Return the digest of the file whose name is given using fast C function.

    val output : Stdlib.out_channel -> t -> unit

Write a digest on the given output channel.

    val input : Stdlib.in_channel -> t

Read a digest from the given input channel.

    val to_bin : t -> string

Return a binary representation of the given digest.

    val to_hex : t -> string

Return a printable hexadecimal representation of the given digest.

    val equal : t -> t -> bool

Returns whether two hashes are equal.

    val of_bin : bytes -> t

Sha512.of_bin digest converts the binary representation of a digest to the internal representation of Sha512.t.

    val of_hex : string -> t

Sha512.of_hex digest converts the hexadecimal representation of a digest to the internal representation of Sha512.t.
