## rmd160-final

Arguments: context &key return

Finalize and return the RMD160 hash from context in a format determined by the return keyword argument.

return can be one of the following values:

- `:integer` (the default): the return value is an integer of up to 128 bits representing the digest. Warning: note that an integer representation of the digest potentially loses information if the generated signature has leading octets containing only zeroes. Care should be taking when using this return type if you intend to further encode the digest (such as to a base64-encoded string). See the example below.
- :usb8: return an (unsigned-byte 8) array containing the digest.
- :hex: return a string containing the hexadecimal representation of the digest. See hex-string-to-integer.

    cl-user(4): (setq c (rmd160-init))
    #S(excl::md-context :ctx 9183168 :size 20)
    cl-user(5): (rmd160-update c "foo")
    cl-user(6): (rmd160-final c :return :usb8)
    #(66 207 162 17 1 142 164 146 253 238 ...)

    ;;  Potential problem with :return :integer (or :return unspecified
    ;;  as the default is :integer). The call is to RMD160-FILE which calls
    ;;  RMD160-FINAL and returns the value RMD160-FINAL returns.
    ;;
    ;;  Here we get the rmd160 value in a shell:
    % openssl dgst -rmd160 -hex qall.jpg
    RIPEMD160(qall.jpg)= 05e527b6387540cc9162049b5f60e960f00f8299

    ;; Now we get it with RMD160-FILE:
    cl-user(17): (rmd160-file "~/qall.jpg")
    33655283890170409359154440781670075183125201561
    cl-user(18): (format t "~x" *)
    5e527b6387540cc9162049b5f60e960f00f8299
    nil
    cl-user(19):

    ;; Note the hex values are the same but the leading 0 is not printed
    ;; by Lisp, which is dealing with the value as an integer. The leading
    ;; 0 is preserved when the :return is :hex:
    cl-user(19): (rmd160-file "~/qall.jpg" :return :hex)
    "05e527b6387540cc9162049b5f60e960f00f8299"
    cl-user(20):
