# module Digest::Instance

This module provides instance methods for a digest implementation object to calculate message digest values.

### Public Instance Methods

digest_obj << string → digest_obj

Updates the digest using a given string and returns self.

The update() method and the left-shift operator are overridden by each implementation subclass. (One should be an alias for the other)

Alias for: update
digest_obj == another_digest_obj → boolean click to toggle source
digest_obj == string → boolean

If a string is given, checks whether it is equal to the hex-encoded hash value of the digest object. If another digest instance is given, checks whether they have the same hash value. Otherwise returns false.

    static VALUE
    rb_digest_instance_equal(VALUE self, VALUE other)
    {
        VALUE str1, str2;

        if (rb_obj_is_kind_of(other, rb_mDigest_Instance) == Qtrue) {
            str1 = rb_digest_instance_digest(0, 0, self);
            str2 = rb_digest_instance_digest(0, 0, other);
        } else {
            str1 = rb_digest_instance_to_s(self);
            str2 = rb_check_string_type(other);
            if (NIL_P(str2)) return Qfalse;
        }

        /* never blindly assume that subclass methods return strings */
        StringValue(str1);
        StringValue(str2);

        if (RSTRING_LEN(str1) == RSTRING_LEN(str2) &&
            rb_str_cmp(str1, str2) == 0) {
            return Qtrue;
        }
        return Qfalse;
    }

base64digest(str = nil) click to toggle source

If none is given, returns the resulting hash value of the digest in a base64 encoded form, keeping the digest’s state.

If a `string` is given, returns the hash value for the given `string` in a base64 encoded form, resetting the digest to the initial state before and after the process.

In either case, the return value is properly padded with ‘=’ and contains no line feeds.

    # File ext/digest/lib/digest.rb, line 82
    def base64digest(str = nil)
      [str ? digest(str) : digest].pack('m0')
    end

base64digest!() click to toggle source

Returns the resulting hash value and resets the digest to the initial state.

    # File ext/digest/lib/digest.rb, line 88
    def base64digest!
      [digest!].pack('m0')
    end

block_length → integer click to toggle source

This method is overridden by each implementation subclass.

        rb_digest_instance_method_unimpl(self, "block_length");

        UNREACHABLE;
    }

bubblebabble → hash_string click to toggle source

Returns the resulting hash value in a Bubblebabble encoded form.

    static VALUE
    rb_digest_instance_bubblebabble(VALUE self)
    {
        return bubblebabble_str_new(rb_funcall(self, id_digest, 0));
    }

digest → string click to toggle source
digest(string) → string

If none is given, returns the resulting hash value of the digest, keeping the digest’s state.

If a string is given, returns the hash value for the given string, resetting the digest to the initial state before and after the process.

    rb_digest_instance_digest(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
    {
        VALUE str, value;

        if (rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "01", &str) > 0) {
            rb_funcall(self, id_reset, 0);
            rb_funcall(self, id_update, 1, str);
            value = rb_funcall(self, id_finish, 0);
            rb_funcall(self, id_reset, 0);
        } else {
            value = rb_funcall(rb_obj_clone(self), id_finish, 0);
        }

        return value;
    }

        return value;
    }

digest_length → integer click to toggle source

Returns the length of the hash value of the digest.

This method should be overridden by each implementation subclass. If not, digest_obj.digest().length() is returned.

    static VALUE
    rb_digest_instance_digest_length(VALUE self)
    {
        /* subclasses really should redefine this method */
        VALUE digest = rb_digest_instance_digest(0, 0, self);

        /* never blindly assume that #digest() returns a string */

        return LONG2NUM(RSTRING_LEN(digest));
    }

            rb_funcall(self, id_update, 1, str);
            value = rb_funcall(self, id_finish, 0);
            rb_funcall(self, id_reset, 0);
        } else {
            value = rb_funcall(rb_obj_clone(self), id_finish, 0);

        const char *cname;

        cname = rb_obj_classname(self);

        /* #<Digest::ClassName: xxxxx...xxxx> */
        str = rb_str_buf_new(2 + strlen(cname) + 2 + digest_len * 2 + 1);

update(string) → digest_obj click to toggle source

Updates the digest using a given string and returns self.

The update() method and the left-shift operator are overridden by each implementation subclass. (One should be an alias for the other)

Also aliased as: <<

### Private Instance Methods

instance_eval { finish } → digest_obj click to toggle source

Finishes the digest and returns the resulting hash value.

This method is overridden by each implementation subclass and often made private, because some of those subclasses may leave internal data uninitialized. Do not call this method from outside. Use `digest!()` instead, which ensures that internal data be reset for security reasons.

    static VALUE
    rb_digest_instance_finish(VALUE self)
    {
        rb_digest_instance_method_unimpl(self, "finish");

        UNREACHABLE;
    }
