hash. It may be used for some specific purposes, such as X25519 key
derivation, or XChacha20 initialisation. If in doubt, do not use directly. Use

The following example assumes the existence of

with cryptographically secure random bytes. If
<b class="Fn" title="Fn">arc4random_buf</b>() does not exist on your system,
see <a class="Xr" title="Xr" href="intro.html">intro(3monocypher)</a> for
advice about how to generate cryptographically secure random bytes.
