hashing

Documentation

Overview

Package hashing provides shared logic for the md5sum / sha256sum / sha512sum applets. Each applet is a thin wrapper that picks a hash constructor and a default name, then delegates to Run.

Functions

func New

func New(algo string) func() hash.Hash

New returns a hash constructor by algorithm name.

func Run

func Run(cmdName, algo string, argv []string) int

Run is the shared Main implementation. cmdName is the applet name (used for diagnostics); algo is one of "md5", "sha256", "sha512".
