Package resumable registers resumable versions of hash functions. Resumable
varieties of hash functions are available via the standard crypto package.
Support can be checked by type assertion against the resumable.Hash interface.
.
While one can use these sub-packages directly, it makes more sense to register
them using side-effect imports:
.
import _ "github.com/stevvooe/resumable/sha256"
.
This will make the resumable hashes available to the application through the
standard crypto package. For example, if a new sha256 is required, one should
use the following:
.
h := crypto.SHA256.New()
.
Such a features allows one to control the inclusion of resumable hash support
in a single file. Applications that require the resumable hash implementation
can type switch to detect support, while other parts of the application can be
completely oblivious to the presence of the alternative hash functions.
.
Also note that the implementations available in this package are completely
untouched from their Go counterparts in the standard library. Only an extra
file is added to each package to implement the extra resumable hash functions.
