## NAME
    [Crypt::Mac::PMAC](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Crypt%3A%3AMac%3A%3APMAC/markdown) - Message authentication code PMAC

## SYNOPSIS
       ### Functional interface:
       use [Crypt::Mac::PMAC](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Crypt%3A%3AMac%3A%3APMAC/markdown) qw( pmac pmac_hex );

       # calculate MAC from string/buffer
       $pmac_raw  = pmac($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');
       $pmac_hex  = pmac_hex($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');
       $pmac_b64  = pmac_b64($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');
       $pmac_b64u = pmac_b64u($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');

       ### OO interface:
       use [Crypt::Mac::PMAC](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Crypt%3A%3AMac%3A%3APMAC/markdown);

       $d = [Crypt::Mac::PMAC](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Crypt%3A%3AMac%3A%3APMAC/markdown)->new($cipher_name, $key);
       $d->add('any data');
       $d->addfile('filename.dat');
       $d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);
       $result_raw  = $d->mac;     # raw bytes
       $result_hex  = $d->hexmac;  # hexadecimal form
       $result_b64  = $d->b64mac;  # Base64 form
       $result_b64u = $d->b64umac; # Base64 URL Safe form

## DESCRIPTION
    Provides an interface to the PMAC message authentication code (MAC) algorithm.

## EXPORT
    Nothing is exported by default.

    You can export selected functions:

      use [Crypt::Mac::PMAC](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Crypt%3A%3AMac%3A%3APMAC/markdown) qw(pmac pmac_hex );

    Or all of them at once:

      use [Crypt::Mac::PMAC](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Crypt%3A%3AMac%3A%3APMAC/markdown) ':all';

## FUNCTIONS
  pmac
    Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its PMAC message authentication
    code encoded as a binary string.

     $pmac_raw = pmac($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');
     #or
     $pmac_raw = pmac($cipher_name, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

  pmac_hex
    Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its PMAC message authentication
    code encoded as a hexadecimal string.

     $pmac_hex = pmac_hex($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');
     #or
     $pmac_hex = pmac_hex($cipher_name, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

  pmac_b64
    Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its PMAC message authentication
    code encoded as a Base64 string.

     $pmac_b64 = pmac_b64($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');
     #or
     $pmac_b64 = pmac_b64($cipher_name, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

  pmac_b64u
    Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its PMAC message authentication
    code encoded as a Base64 URL Safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5).

     $pmac_b64url = pmac_b64u($cipher_name, $key, 'data buffer');
     #or
     $pmac_b64url = pmac_b64u($cipher_name, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

## METHODS
  new
     $d = [Crypt::Mac::PMAC](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Crypt%3A%3AMac%3A%3APMAC/markdown)->new($cipher_name, $key);

  clone
     $d->clone();

  reset
     $d->reset();

  add
     $d->add('any data');
     #or
     $d->add('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

  addfile
     $d->addfile('filename.dat');
     #or
     $d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);

  mac
     $result_raw = $d->mac();

  hexmac
     $result_hex = $d->hexmac();

  b64mac
     $result_b64 = $d->b64mac();

  b64umac
     $result_b64url = $d->b64umac();
