Type Alias HashType

pub type HashType = Sha512Hash;

The type used to store the hash of each item.

It is a result of the SHA512 algorithm as a newtype 64 byte array marked with #[repr(transparent)]. If you want to get the bytes from it, you can transmute safely.

fn hash_bytes(hash: HashType) -> [u8; 64]
{
  unsafe {
    std::mem::transmute(hash)
  }
}

fn hash_bytes_assert()
{
  assert_eq!(hash_bytes(Default::default()), [0u8; 64]);
}
