+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn haggis_create_node
+function creates a haggis archive node from the file residing at
+.Fa path .
+.Pp
+The argument
+.Fa a
+specifies a hashing algorithm to be used to calculate the file's checksum.
+The
+.Fa map
+argument points to a
+.Vt haggis_linkmap
+structure as defined by
+.In haggis.h
+and which is used to keep track of hard links, so as not to use more space than
+necessary to store a complete archive.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn haggis_extract_node
+function extracts the haggis archive node
+.Fa node
+and writes it's contents into
+.Fa stream .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn haggis_load_node
+function loads a haggis node from
+.Fa stream
+and stores it in
+.Fa node .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn haggis_store_node
+function takes the data stored as
+.Fa node
+and stores it in
+.Fa stream .
+.Pp
+The values accepted as a hashing algorithm by
+.Fn haggis_create_node
+are defined in the enum
+.Vt haggis_algorithm
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv md5
+The Md5 hash algorithm is a quick hash function supported almost everywhere
+.It Dv sha1
+The Sha1 hash algorithm is almost as fast as md5 but with less chance of hash collision
+.It Dv sha256
+The Sha256 hash algorithm is considered crytographically secure, and provides the most
+surety of the integrity of your data.
+.It Dv skip
+No hash is to be used.
