deephash

Documentation

Overview

Package deephash hashes a Go value recursively, in a predictable order, without looping. The hash is only valid within the lifetime of a program. Users should not store the hash on disk or send it over the network. The hash is sufficiently strong and unique such that Hash(x) == Hash(y) is an appropriate replacement for x == y.

This package, like most of the tailscale.com Go module, should be considered Tailscale-internal; we make no API promises.
