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 ,
128which will also erase the
129.Vt SKEIN256_CTX .
130.Pp
131.Fn SKEIN256_End
132is a wrapper for
133.Fn SKEIN256_Final
134which converts the return value to a 33-character
135(including the terminating '\e0')
136ASCII string which represents the 256 bits in hexadecimal.
137.Pp
138.Fn SKEIN256_File
139calculates the digest of a file, and uses
140.Fn SKEIN256_End
141to return the result.
142If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned.
143.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
144is similar to
145.Fn SKEIN256_File ,
146but it only calculates the digest over a byte-range of the file specified,
147starting at
148.Fa offset
149and spanning
150.Fa length
151bytes.
152If the
153.Fa length
154parameter is specified as 0, or more than the length of the remaining part
155of the file,
156.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
157calculates the digest from
158.Fa offset
159to the end of file.
160.Fn SKEIN256_Data
161calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses
162.Fn SKEIN256_End
163to return the result.
164.Pp
165When using
166.Fn SKEIN256_End ,
167.Fn SKEIN256_File ,
168or
169.Fn SKEIN256_Data ,
170the
171.Fa buf
172argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string
173is allocated with
174.Xr malloc 3
175and subsequently must be explicitly deallocated using
176.Xr free 3
177after use.
178If the
179.Fa buf
180argument is non-null it must point to at least 33 characters of buffer space.
181.Pp
182The
183.Li SKEIN512_
184and
185.Li SKEIN1024_
186functions are similar to the
187.Li SKEIN256_
188functions except they produce a 512-bit, 65 character,
189or 1024-bit, 129 character, output.
190.Sh ERRORS
191The
192.Fn SKEIN256_End
193function called with a null buf argument may fail and return NULL if:
194.Bl -tag -width Er
195.It Bq Er ENOMEM
196Insufficient storage space is available.
197.El
198.Pp
199The
200.Fn SKEIN256_File
201and
202.Fn SKEIN256_FileChunk
203may return NULL when underlying
204.Xr open 2 ,
205.Xr fstat 2 ,
206.Xr lseek 2 ,
207or
208.Xr SKEIN256_End 3
209fail.
