VERSION

SYNOPSIS

use Digest::SipHash qw/siphash/;
my $seed = pack 'C16', 0 .. 0xF;    # 16 chars long
my $str = "hello world!";
my ( $lo, $hi ) = siphash( $str, $seed );
#  $lo = 0x10cf32e0, $hi == 0x7da9cd17
my $u32 = siphash( $str, $seed )
#  $u32 = 0x10cf32e0

use Config;
if ( $Config{use64bitint} ) {
  use Digest::SipHash qw/siphash64/;
  my $uint64 = siphash64( $str, $seed );    # scalar context;
  # $uint64 == 0x7da9cd1710cf32e0
}

DESCRIPTION

SipHash is the default perl hash function for 64 bit builds now.

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/3db6cbfca39da94d152d3e860e2aa79b9c6bb161

https://131002.net/siphash/

This module does only one thing - culculates the SipHash value of the given string.

EXPORT

siphash(), siphash32() and siphash64() on demand.

:all to all of above

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

siphash

my ($hi, $lo) = siphash($str [, $seed][, $no_downgrade]);
my $uint32    = siphash($str [, $seed][, $no_downgrade]);

Calculates the SipHash value of $src with $<$seed>.

If $seed is omitted, it defaults to $Digest:::SipHash::DEFAULT_SEED, which is set randomly upon initialization of this module.

If $seed is set but less than 16 bytes long, it is padded with $DEFAULT_SEED.

To be compatible with 32-bit perl, It returns a pair of 32-bit integers instead of a 64-bit integer. Since Hash::Util::hash_value() always returns the lower 32-bit first so that:

use Hash::Util qw/hash_seed hash_value/;
use Digest::SipHash qw/siphash/;
hash_value($str) == siphash($str, hash_seed()); # scalar context

always holds true when PERL_HASH_FUN_SIPHASH is in effect.

About Unicode

By default this module follows the same rules as Perl does regarding hashing, utf8 strings are passed to utf8::downgrade() with the $fail_ok flag set to true. This means that if the complete string can be downgraded to non-utf8 prior to hashing it will be, otherwise it will be left in utf8 form. This means that all strings which are string equivalent hash equivalently, and may not be what you want. In which case you can pass a third argument to the hash functions, which when true disables the downgrade behavior.

siphash32

just an alias of siphash.

siphash64

my $uint64 = siphash64($str [, $seed]);

Calculates the SipHash value of $src with $seed in 64-bit. Available on 64-bit platforms only.
