DESCRIPTION

       The BLAKE2 family of cryptographic hash functions is an improved version of the SHA-3 finalist BLAKE.

       BLAKE2b is optimized for 64-bit platforms and produces up to 64 bytes of output; BLAKE2s is optimized for
       32-bit platforms and produces up to 32 bytes of output.

       BLAKE2bp  and BLAKE2sp are parallel versions of BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s designed for increased performance on
       multicore and large-vector SIMD processors.

       The blake2s_init(), blake2b_init(), blake2sp_init(), and  blake2bp_init()  functions  initialize  a  hash
       state S to hash a message to an output of outlen bytes, without using a key.

       S must be allocated by the caller.

       The   blake2s_init_key(),  blake2b_init_key(),  blake2sp_init_key(),  and  blake2bp_init_key()  functions
       initialize a hash state S to hash a message to an output of outlen bytes, using the  key  key  of  length
       keylen.

       The  blake2s_init_param()  and  blake2b_init_param()  initialize  a hash state S using a custom parameter
       block P, which must have been filled in  completely  by  the  caller.   See  the  BLAKE2  paper  and  the
       <blake2.h> header file for details.

       The blake2s_update(), blake2b_update(), blake2sp_update(), and blake2bp_update() functions hash the input
       buffer in of length inlen bytes into the hash state S.

       The  blake2s_final(),  blake2b_final(), blake2sp_final(), and blake2bp_final() functions compute the hash
       value accumulated in S and store it into out.  outlen must have the same value that  was  passed  to  the
       corresponding init function.

       The blake2s(), blake2b(), blake2sp(), and blake2bp() functions hash a single-buffer input in one function
       call, optionally using a key.

       To use the latter functions without a key, set keylen to 0 and key to NULL.

       For all functions, the lengths outlen, inlen, and keylen are specified in bytes.

       outlen must be positive and no greater than BLAKE2S_OUTBYTES (32) for the blake2s and blake2sp functions,
       or positive and no greater than BLAKE2B_OUTBYTES (64) for the blake2b and blake2bp functions.

       keylen must be positive and no greater than BLAKE2S_KEYBYTES (32) for the blake2s and blake2sp functions,
       or positive and no greater than BLAKE2B_KEYBYTES (64) for the blake2b and blake2bp functions.

RETURN VALUES

       All of these functions return 0 if successful, or -1 if they detect an error.

       All detected, reported errors are caused by invalid pointer arguments or out-of-bounds length arguments.

       Not all invalid arguments are detected.

       These  functions  do  not  set errno themselves, but do call standard C library functions which might set
       errno.

BUGS

       The library does not include a self-test function.

       The library does not attempt to detect or report an error if the caller exceeds the input  length  limits
       specified for the BLAKE2 functions, even for BLAKE2s and BLAKE2sp, whose length limits (2**64-1 bytes and
       2**67-1 bytes respectively) could theoretically be reached.

       blake2s_final(), blake2b_final(), blake2sp_final(), and blake2bp_final() do not erase the state S, and do
       not treat the hash value as sensitive, even if they are used to compute a keyed hash.

       blake2s_final(),  blake2b_final(),  blake2sp_final(),  and  blake2bp_final()  alter  the  state such that
       further calls to the _update or _final functions will produce poorly-behaved results, and do not mark the
       state as no longer valid in order to detect and prevent such programmer errors.
