NAME
gnutls_hmac_init - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/crypto.h>
gnutls_hmac_init(3) * dig, gnutls_mac_algorithm_t
algorithm, const void * key, size_t keylen);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_hmac_hd_t * dig
is a gnutls_hmac_hd_t type
gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm
the HMAC algorithm to use
const void * key
the key to be used for encryption
size_t keylen
the length of the key
DESCRIPTION
This function will initialize an context that can be used to produce a
Message Authentication Code (MAC) of data. This will effectively use
the current crypto backend in use by gnutls or the cryptographic accel-
erator in use.
Note that despite the name of this function, it can be used for other
MAC algorithms than HMAC.
RETURNS
Zero or a negative error code on error.
