NAME
     gnutls_hmac_init - API function

SYNOPSIS
     #include <gnutls/crypto.h>

     int  gnutls_hmac_init(gnutls_hmac_hd_t  * dig, gnutls_mac_algorithm_t algo-
     rithm, 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

DESCRIPTION
     This function will initialize an context that can be used to produce a Mes-
     sage Authentication Code (MAC) of data.  This will effectively use the cur-
     rent crypto backend in use by gnutls or the  cryptographic  accelerator  in
     use.

     Note  that  despite the name of this function, it can be used for other MAC
     algorithms than HMAC.

RETURNS
     Zero or a negative error code on error.

SINCE
     2.10.0
