.Sh DESCRIPTION
The r_muta facility implements a small plugin-based framework for data transformations used across radare2. It exposes a thin, consistent API to list available plugins (hashers, encoders, ciphers, small transforms), create sessions, configure keys/IVs and stream data through plugins to produce outputs. The design focuses on reusability from other core libraries (for example, the hashing helper in `libr/muta/hash/hash.c`) so callers can treat most algorithms uniformly.

.Sh NOTES
Plugins follow a vtable pattern: `RMutaPlugin` exposes callbacks such as `set_key`, `update`, `end` and `get_key_size`. Callers should:
- Create a single `RMuta` context per scope and reuse it for multiple sessions.
- Always call `r_muta_session_free` after finishing with a session.
- Free the buffer returned by `r_muta_session_get_output`.
- For high-level one-shot operations, prefer `r_muta_process()` or `r_muta_process_simple()` over manual session management.
- The library supports a wide variety of algorithms including modern ciphers (AES, Serpent, SM4), classical ciphers (DES, Blowfish), hash functions (SHA family, MD5, CRC), base encodings (Base64, Base91, Bech32), signature algorithms (Ed25519), and extensive charset support including international and gaming charsets.
