A trait for hashing an arbitrary stream of bytes.

Instances of `Hasher` usually represent state that is changed while hashing data.

`Hasher` provides a fairly basic interface for retrieving the generated hash (with `finish`), and writing integers as well as slices of bytes into an instance (with `write` and `write_u8` etc.). Most of the time, `Hasher` instances are used in conjunction with the `Hash` trait.

# Examples

    use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
    use std::hash::Hasher;

    let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();

    hasher.write_u32(1989);
    hasher.write_u8(11);
    hasher.write_u8(9);
    hasher.write(b"Huh?");

    println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());

Run

## Required methods

### `fn finish(&self) -> u64`[src]

Returns the hash value for the values written so far.

Despite its name, the method does not reset the hasher’s internal state. Additional `write`s will continue from the current value. If you need to start a fresh hash value, you will have to create a new hasher.

# Examples

    use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
    use std::hash::Hasher;

    let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
    hasher.write(b"Cool!");

    println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());

Run

### `fn write(&mut self, bytes: &[u8])`[src]

Writes some data into this `Hasher`.

# Examples

    use std::collections::hash_map::DefaultHasher;
    use std::hash::Hasher;

    let mut hasher = DefaultHasher::new();
    let data = [0x01, 0x23, 0x45, 0x67, 0x89, 0xab, 0xcd, 0xef];

    hasher.write(&data);

    println!("Hash is {:x}!", hasher.finish());
