Declaration [src] 

gchar*
g_compute_hmac_for_bytes (
  GChecksumType digest_type,
  GBytes* key,
  GBytes* data
)

Description [src]

Computes the HMAC for a binary data. This is a convenience wrapper for g_hmac_new(), g_hmac_get_string() and g_hmac_unref().

The hexadecimal string returned will be in lower case.

Available since: 2.50

Parameters

digest_type

Type: GChecksumType

A GChecksumType to use for the HMAC.

key

Type: GBytes

The key to use in the HMAC.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
data

Type: GBytes

Binary blob to compute the HMAC of.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

Return value

Type: gchar*

The HMAC of the binary data as a string in hexadecimal. 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 value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
