90 functions calculate a 512-bit cryptographic checksum (digest)
91 for any number of input bytes.
92 A cryptographic checksum is a one-way
93 hash function; that is, it is computationally impractical to find
94 the input corresponding to a particular output.
98 of the input-data, which does not disclose the actual input.
105 functions are the core functions.

123 string which represents the 512 bits in hexadecimal.
126 calculates the digest of a file, and uses
128 to return the result.
129 If the file cannot be opened, a null pointer is returned.
133 but it only calculates the digest over a byte-range of the file specified,
141 parameter is specified as 0, or more than the length of the remaining part

148 calculates the digest of a chunk of data in memory, and uses
150 to return the result.
159 argument can be a null pointer, in which case the returned string

173 functions are identical to the
175 functions except they use a different initial hash value and the output is
176 truncated to 384 bits and 256 bits respectively.

232 There is on the other hand no guarantee that such a method does not exist.
