Digest::SHA256::Native
Raku bindings to C implementation of SHA256
NAME
Digest::SHA256::Native -- Fast SHA256 computation using NativeCall to C.
SYNOPSIS
use Digest::SHA256::Native;
# digest for a string
say sha256-hex("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog");
# digest for a blob
say sha256-hex("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".encode);
# digest for a supply (stream)
say sha256-hex supply { emit "The quick brown fox ";
emit "jumps over the lazy dog"
}
# digest for a file (IO::Path)
"dog.txt".IO.spurt: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
say sha256-hex "dog.txt".IO;
# The -hex is optional, without it, a binary blob (list of bytes) is returned
say sha256("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog").list.fmt('%02x','');Output:

sha256-hex computes a hex string.
sha256 computes a Blob -- list of bytes -- representing the sha256.
Both of these accept multiple types of arguments:
Str
Blob
Supply of Str/Blob chunks
IO::Path (also takes an optional :chunk-size, default 64 * 1024)
IO::Handle (ditto)
EXAMPLES
Compute the SHA 256 for a string.
say sha256-hex "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";Compute the SHA 256 for a file.
say sha256-hex "somedata".IO;Take an HMAC in addition to a SHA.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code#Examples:
use Digest::HMAC;
use Digest::SHA256::Native;
say hmac-hex("key","The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",&sha256);Output:

The C implementation in src/sha256.c is taken from Brad Conte's crypto-algorithms.
