sha256-string

Arguments: string &key start end external-format return

Using sha256-init (which creates a context), sha256-update (which updates the context with the argument string), and sha256-final (which finalizes the hash), this function computes the SHA256 hash for string.

The start and end arguments specify the portion of the string to be considered and the external-format argument specifies the external hashing of the string that will be used to update the context. start defaults to 0, end defaults to the length of string, and external-format defaults to the default external format. These arguments, along with string, are passed to sha256-update.

The format of the result, just as for sha256-final, is determined by the return keyword argument. The possible values are :integer, :usb8, and :hex. See sha256-final for information on these values and the corresponding formats of the returned value.
