CryptoSys API Library Manual

hashFile

Compute hash digest in byte format of a file.

Syntax

[VBA]

Public Function hashFile ( _
    szFileName As String, _
    nOptions As Long _
) As Byte()

Parameters

szFileName

Name of file containing message data.

nOptions

Algorithm to be used. Select one from:

API_HASH_SHA1
API_HASH_SHA224
API_HASH_SHA256
API_HASH_SHA384
API_HASH_SHA512
API_HASH_SHA3_224
API_HASH_SHA3_256
API_HASH_SHA3_384
API_HASH_SHA3_512
API_HASH_MD5
API_HASH_MD2
API_HASH_RMD160

Add API_HASH_MODE_TEXT to hash in "text" mode instead of default "binary" mode.

Return Value

Byte(): Message digest in byte array.

Remarks

The default mode is "binary" where each byte is treated individually. In "text" mode CR-LF pairs will be treated as a single newline (LF) character.
