This says both "hash type" and "digest type".  It should be one or the other.

The square brackets are meant to indicate that the part within it is optional,
right?  Are they in the right place?  I don't see how this matches the code.
There is also no explanation for why or when <digest type> is optional with
DATA_FMT_DIGEST_WITH_TYPE_AND_ALGO.

There's no need to use %*s if the length argument is just going to be strlen().
It should just use %s.

Also, this is not correct use of snprintf(), given that the string is
unconditionally appended to at the offset which snprintf() returns.  So it is
not providing buffer overflow protection.  It might as well just be:

                offset += 1 + sprintf(buffer, "%s:%s:",
                                      digest_type_name[digest_type],
                                      hash_algo_name[hash_algo]);

and likewise for the other case:

                offset += 1 + sprintf(buffer, "%s:", hash_algo_name[hash_algo]);

Why is this defaulting to SHA-1?
