A trait for hashing an arbitrary stream of bytes.

Instances of Hasher usually represent state that is changed while hashing data.

Hasher provides a fairly basic interface for retrieving the generated hash (with finish), and writing integers as well as slices of bytes into an instance (with write and write_u8 etc.). Most of the time, Hasher instances are used in conjunction with the Hash trait.

Examples

use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
use std::hash::Hasher;

let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();

hasher.write_u32(1989);
hasher.write_u8(11);
hasher.write_u8(9);
hasher.write(b"Huh?");

println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());

Required methods

use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
use std::hash::Hasher;

let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
hasher.write(b"Cool!");

println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());

use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
use std::hash::Hasher;

let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
let data = [0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xab, 0xcd, 0xef];

hasher.write(&data);

println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());
