Struct blake3::OutputReader

pub struct OutputReader { /* private fields */ }

An incremental reader for extended output, returned by Hasher::finalize_xof.

Outputs shorter than the default length of 32 bytes (256 bits) provide less security. An N-bit BLAKE3 output is intended to provide N bits of first and second preimage resistance and N/2 bits of collision resistance, for any N up to 256. Longer outputs don’t provide any additional security.

Shorter BLAKE3 outputs are prefixes of longer ones. Explicitly requesting a short output is equivalent to truncating the default-length output. (Note that this is different between BLAKE2 and BLAKE3.)

Implementations

impl OutputReader

pub fn fill(&mut self, buf: &mut [u8])

Fill a buffer with output bytes and advance the position of the OutputReader. This is equivalent to Read::read, except that it doesn’t return a Result. Both methods always fill the entire buffer.

Note that OutputReader doesn’t buffer output bytes internally, so calling fill repeatedly with a short-length or odd-length slice will end up performing the same compression multiple times. If you’re reading output in a loop, prefer a slice length that’s a multiple of 64.

The maximum output size of BLAKE3 is 2⁶⁴-1 bytes. If you try to extract more than that, for example by seeking near the end and reading further, the behavior is unspecified.

pub fn position(&self) -> u64

Return the current read position in the output stream. This is equivalent to Seek::stream_position, except that it doesn’t return a Result. The position of a new OutputReader starts at 0, and each call to fill or Read::read moves the position forward by the number of bytes read.

pub fn set_position(&mut self, position: u64)

Seek to a new read position in the output stream. This is equivalent to calling Seek::seek with SeekFrom::Start, except that it doesn’t return a Result.
