101.Sh DESCRIPTION
102.Li Skein
103is a new family of cryptographic hash functions based on the
104.Li Threefish
105large-block cipher.
106Its design combines speed, security, simplicity, and a great deal of
107flexibility in a modular package that is easy to analyze.
108.Li Skein
109is defined for three different internal state sizes\(em256 bits, 512 bits, and
1101024 bits\(emand any output size.
111This allows Skein to be a drop-in replacement for the entire SHA family
112of hash functions.
113.Pp
114The
115.Fn SKEIN256_Init ,
116.Fn SKEIN256_Update ,
117and
118.Fn SKEIN256_Final
119functions are the core functions.
120Allocate an
121.Vt SKEIN256_CTX ,
122initialize it with
123.Fn SKEIN256_Init ,
124run over the data with
125.Fn SKEIN256_Update ,
126and finally extract the result using
127.Fn SKEIN256_Final .
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')
134.Tn ASCII
135string which represents the 256 bits in hexadecimal.
136.Pp
137.Fn SKEIN256_File
138calculates the digest of a file, and uses
139.Fn SKEIN256_End
140to return the result.
141If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned.
142.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
143is similar to
144.Fn SKEIN256_File ,
145but it only calculates the digest over a byte-range of the file specified,
146starting at
147.Fa offset
148and spanning
149.Fa length
150bytes.
151If the
152.Fa length
153parameter is specified as 0, or more than the length of the remaining part
154of the file,
155.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
156calculates the digest from
157.Fa offset
158to the end of file.
159.Fn SKEIN256_Data
160calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses
161.Fn SKEIN256_End
162to return the result.
163.Pp
164When using
165.Fn SKEIN256_End ,
166.Fn SKEIN256_File ,
167or
168.Fn SKEIN256_Data ,
169the
170.Fa buf
171argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string
172is allocated with
173.Xr malloc 3
174and subsequently must be explicitly deallocated using
175.Xr free 3
176after use.
177If the
178.Fa buf
179argument is non-null it must point to at least 33 characters of buffer space.
180.Pp
181The
182.Li SKEIN512_
183and
184.Li SKEIN1024_
185functions are similar to the
186.Li SKEIN256_
187functions except they produce a 512-bit, 65 character,
188or 1024-bit, 129 character, output.
