# Function ring::digest::digest [−] [src]

    pub fn digest(algorithm: &'static Algorithm, data: &[u8]) -> Digest

Returns the digest of `data` using the given digest algorithm.

C analog: `EVP_Digest`

# Examples:

    use ring::{digest, test};

    let expected_hex =
        "09ca7e4eaa6e8ae9c7d261167129184883644d07dfba7cbfbc4c8a2e08360d5b";
    let expected: Vec<u8> = test::from_hex(expected_hex).unwrap();
    let actual = digest::digest(&digest::SHA256, b"hello, world");

    assert_eq!(&expected, &actual.as_ref());

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
