DESCRIPTION
       HMAC is a MAC (message authentication code), i.e. a keyed hash function
       used for message authentication, which is based on a hash function.
       HMAC() computes the message authentication code of the n bytes at d
       using the hash function evp_md and the key key which is key_len bytes
       long.
       It places the result in md (which must have space for the output of the
       hash function, which is no more than EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes).  If md is
       NULL, the digest is placed in a static array.  The size of the output
       is placed in md_len, unless it is NULL.
       evp_md can be EVP_sha1(), EVP_ripemd160() etc.
       HMAC_CTX_init() initialises a HMAC_CTX before first use. It must be
       called.
       HMAC_CTX_cleanup() erases the key and other data from the HMAC_CTX and
       releases any associated resources. It must be called when an HMAC_CTX
       is no longer required.
       HMAC_cleanup() is an alias for HMAC_CTX_cleanup() included for back
       compatibility with 0.9.6b, it is deprecated.
       The following functions may be used if the message is not completely
       stored in memory:
       HMAC_Init() initializes a HMAC_CTX structure to use the hash function
       evp_md and the key key which is key_len bytes long. It is deprecated
       and only included for backward compatibility with OpenSSL 0.9.6b.
       HMAC_Init_ex() initializes or reuses a HMAC_CTX structure to use the
       hash function evp_md and key key. If both are NULL (or evp_md is the
       same as the previous digest used by ctx and key is NULL) the existing
       key is reused. ctx must have been created with HMAC_CTX_new() before
       the first use of an HMAC_CTX in this function. N.B. HMAC_Init() had
       this undocumented behaviour in previous versions of OpenSSL - failure
       to switch to HMAC_Init_ex() in programs that expect it will cause them
       to stop working.
       NB: if HMAC_Init_ex() is called with key NULL and evp_md is not the
       same as the previous digest used by ctx then an error is returned
       because reuse of an existing key with a different digest is not
       supported.
       HMAC_Update() can be called repeatedly with chunks of the message to be
       authenticated (len bytes at data).
       HMAC_Final() places the message authentication code in md, which must
       have space for the hash function output.
RETURN VALUES
       HMAC() returns a pointer to the message authentication code or NULL if
       an error occurred.
       HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update() and HMAC_Final() return 1 for success or
       0 if an error occurred.
       HMAC_CTX_init() and HMAC_CTX_cleanup() do not return values.

       available since SSLeay 0.9.0.
       HMAC_CTX_init(), HMAC_Init_ex() and HMAC_CTX_cleanup() are available
       since OpenSSL 0.9.7.
       HMAC_Init_ex(), HMAC_Update() and HMAC_Final() did not return values in
       versions of OpenSSL before 1.0.0.
