       The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely

       The following function has been deprecated since OpenSSL 1.1.0, and can be hidden entirely
       by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

        int HMAC_Init(HMAC_CTX *ctx, const void *key, int key_len,
                      const EVP_MD *md);

DESCRIPTION

       HMAC is a MAC (message authentication code), i.e. a keyed hash function used for message
       authentication, which is based on a hash function.

       HMAC() computes the message authentication code of the data_len bytes at data using the
       hash function evp_md and the key key which is key_len bytes long. The key may also be NULL
       with key_len being 0.

       It places the result in md (which must have space for the output of the hash function,
       which is no more than EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes).  If md is NULL, the digest is placed in a
       static array.  The size of the output is placed in md_len, unless it is NULL. Note:
       passing a NULL value for md to use the static array is not thread safe.

       evp_md is a message digest such as EVP_sha1(), EVP_ripemd160() etc.  HMAC does not support
       variable output length digests such as EVP_shake128() and EVP_shake256().

       HMAC() uses the default OSSL_LIB_CTX.  Use EVP_Q_mac(3) instead if a library context is
       required.

       All of the functions described below are deprecated.  Applications should instead use
       EVP_MAC_CTX_new(3), EVP_MAC_CTX_free(3), EVP_MAC_init(3), EVP_MAC_update(3) and
       EVP_MAC_final(3) or the 'quick' single-shot MAC function EVP_Q_mac(3).

       HMAC_CTX_new() creates a new HMAC_CTX in heap memory.

       HMAC_CTX_reset() clears an existing HMAC_CTX and associated resources, making it suitable
       for new computations as if it was newly created with HMAC_CTX_new().

       HMAC_CTX_free() erases the key and other data from the HMAC_CTX, releases any associated
       resources and finally frees the HMAC_CTX itself.

       The following functions may be used if the message is not completely stored in memory:

       HMAC_Init_ex() initializes or reuses a HMAC_CTX structure to use the hash function evp_md
       and key key. If both are NULL, or if key is NULL and evp_md is the same as the previous
       call, then the existing key is reused. ctx must have been created with HMAC_CTX_new()
       before the first use of an HMAC_CTX in this function.

       If HMAC_Init_ex() is called with key NULL and evp_md is not the same as the previous
       digest used by ctx then an error is returned because reuse of an existing key with a
       different digest is not supported.

       HMAC_Init() initializes a HMAC_CTX structure to use the hash function evp_md and the key
       key which is key_len bytes long.

       HMAC_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be authenticated (len
       bytes at data).

       HMAC_Final() places the message authentication code in md, which must have space for the
       hash function output.

       HMAC_CTX_copy() copies all of the internal state from sctx into dctx.

       HMAC_CTX_set_flags() applies the specified flags to the internal EVP_MD_CTXs.  These flags
       have the same meaning as for EVP_MD_CTX_set_flags(3).

       HMAC_CTX_get_md() returns the EVP_MD that has previously been set for the supplied
       HMAC_CTX.

       HMAC_size() returns the length in bytes of the underlying hash function output.

RETURN VALUES

       HMAC() returns a pointer to the message authentication code or NULL if an error occurred.

       HMAC_CTX_new() returns a pointer to a new HMAC_CTX on success or NULL if an error
       occurred.

       HMAC_CTX_reset(), HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update(), HMAC_Final() and HMAC_CTX_copy() return 1
       for success or 0 if an error occurred.

       HMAC_CTX_get_md() return the EVP_MD previously set for the supplied HMAC_CTX or NULL if no
       EVP_MD has been set.

       HMAC_size() returns the length in bytes of the underlying hash function output or zero on
       error.

HISTORY

       All functions except for HMAC() were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

       HMAC_CTX_init() was replaced with HMAC_CTX_reset() in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

       HMAC_CTX_cleanup() existed in OpenSSL before version 1.1.0.

       HMAC_CTX_new(), HMAC_CTX_free() and HMAC_CTX_get_md() are new in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

       HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update() and HMAC_Final() did not return values in OpenSSL before
       version 1.0.0.
