NAME gnutls_hmac_init - API function
SYNOPSIS #include <gnutls/crypto.h>
int gnutls_hmac_init(gnutls_hmac_hd_t * dig, gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm, const void * key, size_t keylen);
ARGUMENTS gnutls_hmac_hd_t * dig is a gnutls_hmac_hd_t type
gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algorithm the HMAC algorithm to use
const void * key the key to be used for encryption
size_t keylen the length of the key
