Checksum

class Checksum(val glibChecksumPointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>) : ProxyInstance(source)

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 GChecksum, use ctor@GLib.Checksum.new. To free a GChecksum, use method@GLib.Checksum.free.

GLib supports incremental checksums using the GChecksum data structure, by calling method@GLib.Checksum.update as long as there’s data available and then using method@GLib.Checksum.get_string or method@GLib.Checksum.get_digest 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.

Constructors

Checksum

constructor(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 arbitrary binary blob, using different hashing algorithms.

Properties

glibChecksumPointer

val glibChecksumPointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>

handle

open override val handle: <Error class: unknown class>

Functions

addCleaner

open override fun addCleaner(cleaner: <Error class: unknown class>): Boolean

Registers a cleaner to be executed when this proxy object is garbage collected.

copy

fun copy(): Checksum

Copies a #GChecksum. If @checksum has been closed, by calling g_checksum_get_string() or g_checksum_get_digest(), the copied checksum will be closed as well.
