+C library providing BLAKE3 hash function.
+
+BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function that is:
+
+ - Much faster than MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, and BLAKE2.
+
+ - Secure, unlike MD5 and SHA-1. And secure against length
+   extension, unlike SHA-2.
+
+ - Highly parallelizable across any number of threads and
+   SIMD lanes, because it's a Merkle tree on the inside.
+
+ - Capable of verified streaming and incremental updates,
+   again because it's a Merkle tree.
+
+ - A PRF, MAC, KDF, and XOF, as well as a regular hash.
+
+ - One algorithm with no variants, which is fast on x86-64
+   and also on smaller architectures.
