glib.checksum
Module for Checksum class
Types 1
GLib provides a generic API for computing checksums (or ‘digests’) for a sequence of arbitrary bytes, using various hashing algorithms like MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256. Checksums are commonly used in various environments and specifications.
To create a new glib.checksum.Checksum, use glib.checksum.Checksum.new_. To free a glib.checksum.Checksum, use glib.checksum.Checksum.free.
GLib supports incremental checksums using the glib.checksum.Checksum data structure, by calling glib.checksum.Checksum.update as long as there’s data available and then using glib.checksum.Checksum.getString or glib.checksum.Checksum.getDigest to compute the checksum and return it either as a string in hexadecimal form, or as a raw sequence of bytes. To compute the checksum for binary blobs and nul-terminated strings in one go, use the convenience functions func@GLib.compute_checksum_for_data and func@GLib.compute_checksum_for_string, respectively.
glib.checksum.Checksum copy()Copies a #GChecksum. If checksum has been closed, by calling [glib.checksum.Checksum.getString] or [glib.checksum.Checksum.getDigest], the copied checksum will be closed as well. Returns: the copy ...string getString()Gets the digest as a hexadecimal string.void reset()Resets the state of the checksum back to its initial state.void update(ubyte[] data)Feeds data into an existing #GChecksum. The checksum must still be open, that is [glib.checksum.Checksum.getString] or [glib.checksum.Checksum.getDigest] must not have been called on checksum.ptrdiff_t typeGetLength(glib.types.ChecksumType checksumType)Gets the length in bytes of digests of type checksum_typethis(glib.types.ChecksumType checksumType)Creates a new #GChecksum, using the checksum algorithm checksum_type. If the checksum_type is not known, null is returned. A #GChecksum can be used to compute the checksum, or digest, of an arbitra...
