sha1: Calculate a SHA1 hash of an object

In eddelbuettel/digest: Create Compact Hash Digests of R Objects

Description

Calculate a SHA1 hash of an object. The main difference with digest(x, algo = "sha1") is that sha1() will give the same hash on 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Note that the results depends on the setting of digits and zapsmall when handling floating point numbers. The current defaults keep digits and zapsmall as large as possible while maintaining the same hash on 32 bit and 64 bit systems.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'anova'
sha1(x, digits = 4, zapsmall = 7, ..., algo = "sha1")
## S3 method for class 'function'
sha1(x, digits = 14, zapsmall = 7, ..., algo = "sha1")
## S3 method for class 'call'
sha1(x, digits = 14, zapsmall = 7, ..., algo = "sha1")
## S3 method for class 'raw'
sha1(x, digits = 14, zapsmall = 7, ..., algo = "sha1")

Arguments

x	the object to calculate the SHA1
digits	the approximate number of significant digits in base 10. Will be converted to a base 16 equivalent. Defaults to digits = 14, expect for sha1.anova where digits = 4
zapsmall	the approximate negative magnitude of the smallest relevant digit. Will be converted to a base 2 equivalent. Values smaller than this number are equivalent to 0. Defaults to zapsmall = 7
...	Ignored in most methods. See Details for usage
algo	The hashing algoritm to be used by digest. Defaults to "sha1"

Details

Extra arguments:

environment: An optional extra argument for sha1.function. Should be TRUE, FALSE or missing. sha1.function will ignore the enviroment of the function only when environment = FALSE.

Note

sha1 gained an algo argument since version 0.6.15. This allows sha1() to use all hashing algoritms available in digest(). The hashes created with sha1(x) from digest >= 0.6.15 are identical to sha1(x) from digest <= 0.6.14. The only exceptions are hashes created with sha1(x, algo = "sha1"), they will be different starting from digest 0.6.15
