/**
* @defgroup lavu_hash Hash Functions
* @ingroup lavu_crypto
* Hash functions useful in multimedia.
*
* Hash functions are widely used in multimedia, from error checking and
* concealment to internal regression testing. libavutil has efficient
* implementations of a variety of hash functions that may be useful for
* FFmpeg and other multimedia applications.
*
* @{
*
* @defgroup lavu_hash_generic Generic Hashing API
* An abstraction layer for all hash functions supported by libavutil.
*
* If your application needs to support a wide range of different hash
* functions, then the Generic Hashing API is for you. It provides a generic,
* reusable API for @ref lavu_hash "all hash functions" implemented in libavutil.
* If you just need to use one particular hash function, use the @ref lavu_hash
* "individual hash" directly.
*
* @section Sample Code
*
* A basic template for using the Generic Hashing API follows:
*
* @code
* struct AVHashContext *ctx = NULL;
* const char *hash_name = NULL;
* uint8_t *output_buf = NULL;
*
* // Select from a string returned by av_hash_names()
* hash_name = ...;
*
* // Allocate a hash context
* ret = av_hash_alloc(&ctx, hash_name);
* if (ret < 0)
* return ret;
*
* // Initialize the hash context
* av_hash_init(ctx);
*
* // Update the hash context with data
* while (data_left) {
* av_hash_update(ctx, data, size);
* }
*
* // Now we have no more data, so it is time to finalize the hash and get the
* // output. But we need to first allocate an output buffer. Note that you can
* // use any memory allocation function, including malloc(), not just
* // av_malloc().
* output_buf = av_malloc(av_hash_get_size(ctx));
* if (!output_buf)
* return AVERROR(ENOMEM);
*
* // Finalize the hash context.
* // You can use any of the av_hash_final*() functions provided, for other
* // output formats. If you do so, be sure to adjust the memory allocation
* // above. See the function documentation below for the exact amount of extra
* // memory needed.
* av_hash_final(ctx, output_buffer);
*
* // Free the context
* av_hash_freep(&ctx);
* @endcode
*
* @section Hash Function-Specific Information
* If the CRC32 hash is selected, the #AV_CRC_32_IEEE polynomial will be
* used.
*
* If the Murmur3 hash is selected, the default seed will be used. See @ref
* lavu_murmur3_seedinfo "Murmur3" for more information.
*
