Expand description
Trait for reader types which are used to extract extendable output from a XOF (extendable-output function) result.
Required Methods
Provided Methods
fn read_boxed(&mut self, n: usize) -> Box<[u8]>
fn read_boxed(&mut self, n: usize) -> Box<[u8]>
Read output into a boxed slice of the specified size.
Can be called an unlimited number of times in combination with read
.
Box<[u8]>
is used instead of Vec<u8>
to save stack space, since
they have size of 2 and 3 words respectively.
