Namespace: hashing

rules.hashing

namespace   static

Globally available hashing functions. These functions are accessed using the hashing. prefix.

Methods

crc32

static

crc32(bytes_or_string) returns rules.Bytes

Compute a hash using the CRC32 algorithm.

Parameter

bytes_or_string

(non-null rules.Bytes or non-null rules.String)

Bytes sequence (declared with b prefix), or string. For strings, the UTF-8 encoding is used.
Returns

non-null rules.Bytes hash value as a Bytes sequence.

crc32c

static

crc32c(bytes_or_string) returns rules.Bytes

Compute a hash using the CRC32C algorithm.

Parameter

bytes_or_string

(non-null rules.Bytes or non-null rules.String)

Bytes sequence (declared with b prefix), or string. For strings, the UTF-8 encoding is used.
Returns

non-null rules.Bytes hash value as a Bytes sequence.

md5

static

md5(bytes_or_string) returns rules.Bytes

Compute a hash using the MD5 algorithm.

Parameter

bytes_or_string

(non-null rules.Bytes or non-null rules.String)

Bytes sequence (declared with b prefix), or string. For strings, the UTF-8 encoding is used.
Returns

non-null rules.Bytes hash value as a Bytes sequence.

sha256

static

sha256(bytes_or_string) returns rules.Bytes

Compute a hash using the SHA-256 algorithm.

Parameter

bytes_or_string

(non-null rules.Bytes or non-null rules.String)

Bytes sequence (declared with b prefix), or string. For strings, the UTF-8 encoding is used.
Returns

non-null rules.Bytes hash value as a Bytes sequence.
