See L<crypto(7)/Performance> for further information.

While the BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s algorithms supports a variable length digest,
this implementation outputs a digest of a fixed length (the maximum length
supported), which is 512-bits for BLAKE2b and 256-bits for BLAKE2s.
Both algorithms support a variable-length digest,
but this is only available through L<EVP_MD-BLAKE2(7)>.
