guid_hash_data

Description:

[ Version ( since = "1.2.5" ) ]
public string guid_hash_data (uint8 data, size_t datasz, GuidFlags flags)

Returns a GUID for some data.

This uses a hash and so even small differences in the data will produce radically different return values.

The implementation is taken from RFC4122, Section 4.1.3; specifically using a type-5 SHA-1 hash.

data	data to hash
datasz	length of `data`
flags	some fwupdguidflags, e.g. fwupd_guid_flag_namespace_microsoft

A new GUID, or null for internal error
