// Package maphash provides hash functions on byte sequences.
// These hash functions are intended to be used to implement hash tables or
// other data structures that need to map arbitrary strings or byte
// sequences to a uniform distribution on unsigned 64-bit integers.
// Each different instance of a hash table or data structure should use its own [Seed].
//
// The hash functions are not cryptographically secure.
// (See crypto/sha256 and crypto/sha512 for cryptographic use.)

// A Seed is a random value that selects the specific hash function
// computed by a [Hash]. If two Hashes use the same Seeds, they
// will compute the same hash values for any given input.
// If two Hashes use different Seeds, they are very likely to compute
// distinct hash values for any given input.
//
// A Seed must be initialized by calling [MakeSeed].
// The zero seed is uninitialized and not valid for use with [Hash]'s SetSeed method.
//
// Each Seed value is local to a single process and cannot be serialized
// or otherwise recreated in a different process.

// The zero Hash is a valid Hash ready to use.
// A zero Hash chooses a random seed for itself during
// the first call to a Reset, Write, Seed, or Sum64 method.
// For control over the seed, use SetSeed.
//
// The computed hash values depend only on the initial seed and
// the sequence of bytes provided to the Hash object, not on the way
// in which the bytes are provided. For example, the three sequences
//
//	h.Write([]byte{'f','o','o'})
//	h.WriteByte('f'); h.WriteByte('o'); h.WriteByte('o')
//	h.WriteString("foo")
//
// all have the same effect.
//
// Hashes are intended to be collision-resistant, even for situations
// where an adversary controls the byte sequences being hashed.
//
// A Hash is not safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines, but a Seed is.
// If multiple goroutines must compute the same seeded hash,
// each can declare its own Hash and call SetSeed with a common Seed.
