NAME
Digest::SHA256::Native -- Fast SHA256 computation using NativeCall to C.
SYNOPSIS
use Digest::SHA256::Native;
say sha256-hex("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog");
say sha256-hex("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".encode);
say sha256("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog")».fmt('%02x').join;
Output:

DESCRIPTION
sha256-hex accepts a string or bytes (a Buf or Blob) and returns a hex string.
sha256 converts the hex into binary (i.e. it returns a Blob).
EXAMPLES
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code#Examples:
use Digest::HMAC;
use Digest::SHA256::Native;
say hmac-hex("key","The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog",&sha256);
Output:
f7bc83f430538424b13298e6aa6fb143ef4d59a14946175997479dbc2d1a3cd8
SHA256 IMPLEMENTATION
The C implementation in src/sha256.c is taken from Brad Conte's
crypto-algorithms.
