# `sha512` Function
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`sha512` computes the SHA512 hash of a given string and encodes it with
|
||
|
|
hexadecimal digits.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the SHA512 algorithm is applied
|
||
|
|
as defined in [RFC 4634](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4634). The raw hash is
|
||
|
|
then encoded to lowercase hexadecimal digits before returning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Examples
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
> sha512("hello world")

* [`base64sha512`](./base64sha512.html) calculates the same hash but returns
|

|
|
the result in a more-compact Base64 encoding.
