+ * functions which encode and decode multi-byte integer values, using
+ * either little-endian or big-endian conventions.
+ *
+ * This file contains a compile-time test on the size of a byte
+ * (the <code>unsigned char</code> C type). If bytes are not octets,
+ * i.e. if they do not have a size of exactly 8 bits, then compilation
+ * is aborted. Architectures where bytes are not octets are relatively
+ * rare, even in the embedded devices market. We forbid non-octet bytes
+ * because there is no clear convention on how octet streams are encoded
+ * on such systems.

+/** @mainpage sphlib C code documentation
+ *
+ * @section overview Overview
+ *
+ * <code>sphlib</code> is a library which contains implementations of
+ * various cryptographic hash functions. These pages have been generated
+ * with <a href="http://www.doxygen.org/index.html">doxygen</a> and
+ * document the API for the C implementations.
+ *
+ * The API is described in appropriate header files, which are available
+ * in the "Files" section. Each hash function family has its own header,
+ * whose name begins with <code>"sph_"</code> and contains the family
+ * name. For instance, the API for the RIPEMD hash functions is available
+ * in the header file <code>sph_ripemd.h</code>.
+ *
+ * @section principles API structure and conventions
+ *
+ * @subsection io Input/output conventions
+ *
+ * In all generality, hash functions operate over strings of bits.
+ * Individual bits are rarely encountered in C programming or actual
+ * communication protocols; most protocols converge on the ubiquitous
+ * "octet" which is a group of eight bits. Data is thus expressed as a
+ * stream of octets. The C programming language contains the notion of a
+ * "byte", which is a data unit managed under the type <code>"unsigned
+ * char"</code>. The C standard prescribes that a byte should hold at
+ * least eight bits, but possibly more. Most modern architectures, even
+ * in the embedded world, feature eight-bit bytes, i.e. map bytes to
+ * octets.
+ *
+ * Nevertheless, for some of the implemented hash functions, an extra
+ * API has been added, which allows the input of arbitrary sequences of
+ * bits: when the computation is about to be closed, 1 to 7 extra bits
+ * can be added. The functions for which this API is implemented include
+ * the SHA-2 functions and all SHA-3 candidates.
+ *
+ * <code>sphlib</code> defines hash function which may hash octet streams,
+ * i.e. streams of bits where the number of bits is a multiple of eight.
+ * The data input functions in the <code>sphlib</code> API expect data
+ * as anonymous pointers (<code>"const void *"</code>) with a length
+ * (of type <code>"size_t"</code>) which gives the input data chunk length
+ * in bytes. A byte is assumed to be an octet; the <code>sph_types.h</code>
+ * header contains a compile-time test which prevents compilation on
+ * architectures where this property is not met.
+ *
+ * The hash function output is also converted into bytes. All currently
+ * implemented hash functions have an output width which is a multiple of
+ * eight, and this is likely to remain true for new designs.
+ *
+ * Most hash functions internally convert input data into 32-bit of 64-bit
+ * words, using either little-endian or big-endian conversion. The hash
+ * output also often consists of such words, which are encoded into output
+ * bytes with a similar endianness convention. Some hash functions have
+ * been only loosely specified on that subject; when necessary,
+ * <code>sphlib</code> has been tested against published "reference"
+ * implementations in order to use the same conventions.
+ *
+ * @subsection shortname Function short name
+ *
+ * Each implemented hash function has a "short name" which is used
+ * internally to derive the identifiers for the functions and context
+ * structures which the function uses. For instance, MD5 has the short
+ * name <code>"md5"</code>. Short names are listed in the next section,
+ * for the implemented hash functions. In subsequent sections, the
+ * short name will be assumed to be <code>"XXX"</code>: replace with the
+ * actual hash function name to get the C identifier.
+ *
+ * Note: some functions within the same family share the same core
+ * elements, such as update function or context structure. Correspondingly,
+ * some of the defined types or functions may actually be macros which
+ * transparently evaluate to another type or function name.
+ *
+ * @subsection context Context structure
+ *
+ * Each implemented hash fonction has its own context structure, available
+ * under the type name <code>"sph_XXX_context"</code> for the hash function
+ * with short name <code>"XXX"</code>. This structure holds all needed
+ * state for a running hash computation.
+ *
+ * The contents of these structures are meant to be opaque, and private
+ * to the implementation. However, these contents are specified in the
+ * header files so that application code which uses <code>sphlib</code>
+ * may access the size of those structures.
+ *
+ * The caller is responsible for allocating the context structure,
+ * whether by dynamic allocation (<code>malloc()</code> or equivalent),
+ * static allocation (a global permanent variable), as an automatic
+ * variable ("on the stack"), or by any other mean which ensures proper
+ * structure alignment. <code>sphlib</code> code performs no dynamic
+ * allocation by itself.
+ *
+ * The context must be initialized before use, using the
+ * <code>sph_XXX_init()</code> function. This function sets the context
+ * state to proper initial values for hashing.
+ *
+ * Since all state data is contained within the context structure,
+ * <code>sphlib</code> is thread-safe and reentrant: several hash
+ * computations may be performed in parallel, provided that they do not
+ * operate on the same context. Moreover, a running computation can be
+ * cloned by copying the context (with a simple <code>memcpy()</code>):
+ * the context and its clone are then independant and may be updated
+ * with new data and/or closed without interfering with each other.
+ * Similarly, a context structure can be moved in memory at will:
+ * context structures contain no pointer, in particular no pointer to
+ * themselves.
+ *
+ * @subsection dataio Data input
+ *
+ * Hashed data is input with the <code>sph_XXX()</code> fonction, which
+ * takes as parameters a pointer to the context, a pointer to the data
+ * to hash, and the number of data bytes to hash. The context is updated
+ * with the new data.
+ *
+ * Data can be input in one or several calls, with arbitrary input lengths.
+ * However, it is best, performance wise, to input data by relatively big
+ * chunks (say a few kilobytes), because this allows <code>sphlib</code> to
+ * optimize things and avoid internal copying.
+ *
+ * When all data has been input, the context can be closed with
+ * <code>sph_XXX_close()</code>. The hash output is computed and written
+ * into the provided buffer. The caller must take care to provide a
+ * buffer of appropriate length; e.g., when using SHA-1, the output is
+ * a 20-byte word, therefore the output buffer must be at least 20-byte
+ * long.
+ *
+ * For some hash functions, the <code>sph_XXX_addbits_and_close()</code>
+ * function can be used instead of <code>sph_XXX_close()</code>. This
+ * function can take a few extra <strong>bits</strong> to be added at
+ * the end of the input message. This allows hashing messages with a
+ * bit length which is not a multiple of 8. The extra bits are provided
+ * as an unsigned integer value, and a bit count. The bit count must be
+ * between 0 and 7, inclusive. The extra bits are provided as bits 7 to
+ * 0 (bits of numerical value 128, 64, 32... downto 0), in that order.
+ * For instance, to add three bits of value 1, 1 and 0, the unsigned
+ * integer will have value 192 (1*128 + 1*64 + 0*32) and the bit count
+ * will be 3.
+ *
+ * The <code>SPH_SIZE_XXX</code> macro is defined for each hash function;
+ * it evaluates to the function output size, expressed in bits. For instance,
+ * <code>SPH_SIZE_sha1</code> evaluates to <code>160</code>.
+ *
+ * When closed, the context is automatically reinitialized and can be
+ * immediately used for another computation. It is not necessary to call
+ * <code>sph_XXX_init()</code> after a close. Note that
+ * <code>sph_XXX_init()</code> can still be called to "reset" a context,
+ * i.e. forget previously input data, and get back to the initial state.
+ *
+ * @subsection alignment Data alignment
+ *
+ * "Alignment" is a property of data, which is said to be "properly
+ * aligned" when its emplacement in memory is such that the data can
+ * be optimally read by full words. This depends on the type of access;
+ * basically, some hash functions will read data by 32-bit or 64-bit
+ * words. <code>sphlib</code> does not mandate such alignment for input
+ * data, but using aligned data can substantially improve performance.
+ *
+ * As a rule, it is best to input data by chunks whose length (in bytes)
+ * is a multiple of eight, and which begins at "generally aligned"
+ * addresses, such as the base address returned by a call to
+ * <code>malloc()</code>.
+ *
+ * @section functions Implemented functions
+ *
+ * We give here the list of implemented functions. They are grouped by
+ * family; to each family corresponds a specific header file. Each
+ * individual function has its associated "short name". Please refer to
+ * the documentation for that header file to get details on the hash
+ * function denomination and provenance.
+ *
+ * Note: the functions marked with a '(64)' in the list below are
+ * available only if the C compiler provides an integer type of length
+ * 64 bits or more. Such a type is mandatory in the latest C standard
+ * (ISO 9899:1999, aka "C99") and is present in several older compilers
+ * as well, so chances are that such a type is available.
