The Post Processing Function masking format is a special masking option that enables you to use a custom function to further transform column values after they have been masked using some other masking formats.
It takes the intermediate masked values as input and returns the final masked values. For example, you can use it for adding checksums or special encodings to the masked values.

A post-processing function has the same signature as a user-defined function, but it passes in the masked values the masking engine generates, and returns the final masked values that should be used for masking. To learn more, check Post Processing Function in the Data Safe documentation.
Note: Objects should always be created or deserialized using the PPFFormatEntry.Builder. This model distinguishes fields that are null because they are unset from fields that are explicitly set to null. This is done in the setter methods of the PPFFormatEntry.Builder, which maintain a set of all explicitly set fields called PPFFormatEntry.Builder.__explicitlySet__. The hashCode() and equals(Object) methods are implemented to take the explicitly set fields into account. The constructor, on the other hand, does not take the explicitly set fields into account (since the constructor cannot distinguish explicit null from unset null).
