NAME
sha - old Secure Hash Algorithm (SHS FIPS Pub 180)
SYNOPSIS
sha([arg1 [, val ...]])
TYPES
arg1 any
val any
return HASH or number
DESCRIPTION
The sha() builtin implements the old Secure Hash Algorithm
(SHA). The SHA is sometimes referenced as SHS. The SHA
is a 160 bit hash.
With no args, sha() returns the default initial SHA-1 HASH state.
If arg1 is a HASH state and no other val args are given, then the
HASH state is finalized and the numeric value of the hash is given.
If arg1 is a HASH state and one or more val args are given,
then the val args are used to modify the arg1 HASH state.
The new arg1 HASH state is returned.
If arg1 is not a a HASH state, then the initial HASH is
used and modifed by arg1 and any val args supplied. The
return value is the new HASH state.
The following table gives a summary of actions and return values.
Here, assume that 'h' is a HASH state:
sha() HASH returns initial HASH state
sha(h) number h is put into final form and the
numeric value of the hash state
sha(x) HASH modify the initial state by hashing 'x'
sha(sha(), x) HASH the same as sha(x)
sha(x, y) HASH the same as sha(sha(x), y)
sha(h, x, y) HASH modify state 'h' by 'x' and then 'y'
sha(sha(h,x,y)) number numeric value of the above call
