Hash block stream io handle

Version

version 0.906

Overview

Writing to a hash-block handle will transform the data into a series of blocks. Each block is hashed, and the hash is included with the block in the stream.

Reading from a handle, each hash block will be verified as the blocks are disassembled back into a data stream.

This format helps ensure data integrity of KDBX3 files.

Each block is encoded thusly:

•

Block index - Little-endian unsigned 32-bit integer, increments starting with 0

•

Hash - 32 bytes

•

Block size - Little-endian unsigned 32-bit (counting only the data)

•

Data - String of bytes

The terminating block is an empty block where hash is 32 null bytes, block size is 0 and there is no data.

Attributes

algorithm

Digest algorithm in hash-blocking the stream (default: "SHA-256")

block_size

Desired block size when writing (default: $File::KDBX::IO::HashBlock::BLOCK_SIZE or 1,048,576 bytes)

Methods

new

    $fh = File::KDBX::IO::HashBlock->new(%attributes);
    $fh = File::KDBX::IO::HashBlock->new($fh, %attributes);

Construct a new hash-block stream IO handle.
