Please abbreviate the boolean name to "hash".   The test would then be
"if (hash == true)" or "if (hash)".

Will do.

Agreed. Will fix.

Hi Mimi,
There already exist a local struct variable named "hash" in p_b_m().
I was thinking of using "buf_hash", but that one is taken too.
Maybe I should use "buf_hash" for the input bool, and rename the
existing "buf_hash" local variable to "digest_hash"?
Does it sound ok?

Thanks,
Tushar
