99.Sh DESCRIPTION
100.Li Skein
101is a new family of cryptographic hash functions based on the
102.Li Threefish
103large-block cipher.
104Its design combines speed, security, simplicity, and a great deal of
105flexibility in a modular package that is easy to analyze.
106.Li Skein
107is defined for three different internal state sizes\(em256 bits, 512 bits, and
1081024 bits\(emand any output size.
109This allows Skein to be a drop-in replacement for the entire SHA family
110of hash functions.
111.Pp
112The
113.Fn SKEIN256_Init ,
114.Fn SKEIN256_Update ,
115and
116.Fn SKEIN256_Final
117functions are the core functions.
118Allocate an
119.Vt SKEIN256_CTX ,
120initialize it with
121.Fn SKEIN256_Init ,
122run over the data with
123.Fn SKEIN256_Update ,
124and finally extract the result using
125.Fn SKEIN256_Final ,
126which will also erase the
127.Vt SKEIN256_CTX .
128.Pp
129.Fn SKEIN256_End
130is a wrapper for
131.Fn SKEIN256_Final
132which converts the return value to a 33-character
133(including the terminating '\e0')
134ASCII string which represents the 256 bits in hexadecimal.
135.Pp
136.Fn SKEIN256_File
137calculates the digest of a file, and uses
138.Fn SKEIN256_End
139to return the result.
140If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned.
141.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
142is similar to
143.Fn SKEIN256_File ,
144but it only calculates the digest over a byte-range of the file specified,
145starting at
146.Fa offset
147and spanning
148.Fa length
149bytes.
150If the
151.Fa length
152parameter is specified as 0, or more than the length of the remaining part
153of the file,
154.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
155calculates the digest from
156.Fa offset
157to the end of file.
158.Fn SKEIN256_Data
159calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses
160.Fn SKEIN256_End
161to return the result.
162.Pp
163When using
164.Fn SKEIN256_End ,
165.Fn SKEIN256_File ,
166or
167.Fn SKEIN256_Data ,
168the
169.Fa buf
170argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string
171is allocated with
172.Xr malloc 3
173and subsequently must be explicitly deallocated using
174.Xr free 3
175after use.
176If the
177.Fa buf
178argument is non-null it must point to at least 33 characters of buffer space.
179.Pp
180The
181.Li SKEIN512_
182and
183.Li SKEIN1024_
184functions are similar to the
185.Li SKEIN256_
186functions except they produce a 512-bit, 65 character,
187or 1024-bit, 129 character, output.
188.Sh ERRORS
189The
190.Fn SKEIN256_End
191function called with a null buf argument may fail and return NULL if:
192.Bl -tag -width Er
193.It Bq Er ENOMEM
194Insufficient storage space is available.
195.El
196.Pp
197The
198.Fn SKEIN256_File
199and
200.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
201may return NULL when underlying
202.Xr open 2 ,
203.Xr fstat 2 ,
204.Xr lseek 2 ,
205or
206.Xr SKEIN256_End 3
207fail.
