digest

digest(input): MultihashDigest<Code> | Promise<MultihashDigest<Code>>
Takes binary input and returns it (multi) hash digest. Return value is either promise of a digest or a digest. This way general use can await while performance critical code may asses return value to decide whether await is needed.
Parameters
- input: Uint8Array
Returns MultihashDigest<Code> | Promise<MultihashDigest<Code>>
