ascon_bytes_from_hex()

int ascon_bytes_from_hex	(	unsigned char *	out,
		size_t	outlen,
		const char *	in,
		size_t	inlen
	)

Converts a hexadecimal string into an array of bytes.

Parameters

out	Points to the buffer to receive the output bytes.
outlen	Maximum number of bytes in the output buffer.
in	Points to the input hexadecimal string to convert.
inlen	Number of characters in the input string to convert.

		int	upper_case
	)

Converts an array of bytes into a hexadecimal string.

Parameters

out	Points to the buffer to receive the output string.
outlen	Maximum number of characters in the out buffer, which should be at least inlen * 2 + 1 in length.
in	Points to the input byte array to convert into hexadecimal.
inlen	Number of bytes to be converted.
upper_case	Use uppercase hexadecimal letters if non-zero; or use lowercase hexadecimal letters if zero.

Returns

The number of characters written to out, excluding the terminating NUL. Returns -1 if there is something wrong with the parameters such as outlen not being large enough.
