libsodium on LiveCode?

[Brian Milby]

Looks like most of the functions use OpenSSL.


Started looking at the headers and there are over 650 function calls in
libsodium. Got bogged down pretty fast though.

Trying to look at some type mappings and am a little confused on how to do
the following:

unsigned char *pk
const unsigned char *seed
unsigned char pk[32]
const unsigned char seed[32]

I know that the const means that it will be in only and the others are
either inout or out. I’m really hoping that we don’t need to use
“MCAggregateTypeInfo” followed by 32 “c” characters. (They don’t use
numbers in the headers but rather #define values).
