Workaround for the deprecated Crypt2.HashFile method

Shows how to replace the deprecated HashFile method. (Chilkat is moving away from the use of CkByteData.) C++

#include <CkCrypt2.h>
#include <CkByteData.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    CkCrypt2 crypt;

    crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256");

    const char *path = "c:/someDir/example.dat";

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The HashFile method is deprecated:

    CkByteData outData;
    success = crypt.HashFile(path,outData);

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Workaround.
    //  (Chilkat is moving away from using CkByteData)

    crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex_lower");
    const char *hex_hash = crypt.hashFileENC(path);
    }
