     5    The sha256 function computes the SHA256 hash of a given string and encodes it
     6    with hexadecimal digits.

     9  # `sha256` Function
    10  
    11  `sha256` computes the SHA256 hash of a given string and encodes it with
    12  hexadecimal digits.
    13  
    14  The given string is first encoded as UTF-8 and then the SHA256 algorithm is applied
    15  as defined in [RFC 4634](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4634). The raw hash is
    16  then encoded to lowercase hexadecimal digits before returning.
