NAME

       cl_verify - Check whether key and lock strings match with libcanlock

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libcanlock-3/canlock.h>

       int cl_verify(cl_hash_version hash,
                     const char *c_key_string, const char *c_lock_string);

       Supported values for hash (by version 3.0.0 of libcanlock):
       CL_SHA1 CL_SHA224 CL_SHA256 CL_SHA384 CL_SHA512

DESCRIPTION

       The  cl_verify()  function  checks  whether a <c-key-string> and a <c-lock-string> element
       according to RFC 8315 matches or not.

       The hash algorithm for <scheme> is selected with hash.

       The <c-key-string> element is specified with c_key_string and the <c-lock-string>  element
       with c_lock_string.

       The  function  cl_split()  can be used to extract <c-key-string> from <c-key> (or <c-lock-
       string> from <c-lock> respectively) elements.

       Consider the function cl_verify_multi() to check multiple keys against multiple locks.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion zero is returned.
       All other values indicate an error.
