17  * Example of using an extendable-output hash function (XOF). A XOF is a hash
18  * function with configurable output length and which can generate an
19  * arbitrarily large output.
20  *
21  * This example uses SHAKE256, an extendable output variant of SHA3 (Keccak).
22  *
23  * To generate different output lengths, you can pass a single integer argument
24  * on the command line, which is the output size in bytes. By default, a 20-byte
25  * output is generated and (for this length only) a known answer test is
26  * performed.
