Declaration [src]
gchar*
g_compute_checksum_for_data (
GChecksumType checksum_type,
const guchar* data,
gsize length
)
Description [src]
Computes the checksum for a binary data of length. This is a
convenience wrapper for g_checksum_new(), g_checksum_get_string()
and g_checksum_free().
The hexadecimal string returned will be in lower case.
Available since: 2.16
Parameters
checksum_type-
Type:
GChecksumTypeA
GChecksumType. data-
Type: An array of
guint8Binary blob to compute the digest of.
The length of the array is specified in the lengthargument.The data is owned by the caller of the function. length-
Type:
gsizeLength of
data.
Return value
Type: gchar*
The digest of the binary data as a
string in hexadecimal, or NULL if g_checksum_new() fails for
checksum_type. The returned string should be freed with g_free() when
done using it.
| The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
The return value can be NULL. |
| The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. |
