Functions

func Bytes

func Bytes(dst, a, b []byte) int

Bytes xors the bytes in a and b. The destination should have enough space, otherwise Bytes will panic. Returns the number of bytes xor'd.

func Words

func Words(dst, a, b []byte)

Words XORs multiples of 4 or 8 bytes (depending on architecture.) The slice arguments a and b are assumed to be of equal length.
