8 * Try to read a hash (specified by the_hash_algo) in hexadecimal
9 * format from the 40 (or whatever length the hash algorithm uses)
10 * characters starting at hex. Write the 20-byte (or the length of
11 * the hash) result to hash in binary form.
12 * Return 0 on success. Reading stops if a NUL is encountered in the
13 * input, so it is safe to pass this function an arbitrary
14 * null-terminated string.

19 * Convert a binary hash in "unsigned char []" or an object name in
20 * "struct object_id *" to its hex equivalent. The `_r` variant is reentrant,
21 * and writes the NUL-terminated output to the buffer `out`, which must be at
22 * least `GIT_MAX_HEXSZ + 1` bytes, and returns a pointer to out for
23 * convenience.
25 * The non-`_r` variant returns a static buffer, but uses a ring of 4
26 * buffers, making it safe to make multiple calls for a single statement, like:
28 * printf("%s -> %s", hash_to_hex(one), hash_to_hex(two));
29 * printf("%s -> %s", oid_to_hex(one), oid_to_hex(two));

37 * Parse a 40-character hexadecimal object ID starting from hex, updating the
38 * pointer specified by end when parsing stops. The resulting object ID is
39 * stored in oid. Returns 0 on success. Parsing will stop on the first NUL or
40 * other invalid character. end is only updated on success; otherwise, it is
41 * unmodified.

48 * a hex value for any algorithm. The algorithm is detected based on the length
49 * and the algorithm in use is returned. If this is not a hex object ID in any
50 * algorithm, returns GIT_HASH_UNKNOWN.
