HashFromBytes cast a byte slice to Hash type, and validate the id to make sure it is a multihash.

HashFromPeerID copy the bytes from a peer ID to Hash.

Less returns whether the first key is smaller than the second.

Distance returns the distance metric between two hashes.

NewHash builds a Hash from a b58 string encoded hash.

NullHash builds a null valued hash.

PeerIDFromHash copy the bytes from a hash to a peer ID.

SortByDistance takes a center Hash, and a list of Hashes toSort.

Sum builds a digest according to the specs in the Holochain.

UnmarshalHash reads a hash from a binary stream.

XOR takes two byte slices, XORs them together, returns the resulting slice.

ZeroPrefixLen returns the number of consecutive zeroes in a byte slice.

hashDistance helper struct for sorting by distance which pre-caches the distance to center so as not to recalculate it on every sort comparison.

HashSpec holds the info that tells what kind of hash this is.
