Checksum

class Checksum(pointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>) : Record

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.

Functions

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.

free

fun free()

Frees the memory allocated for @checksum.

getString

fun getString(): String

Gets the digest as a hexadecimal string.

reset

fun reset()

Resets the state of the @checksum back to its initial state.
