require 'chilkat'

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

crypt.put_HashAlgorithm("sha256")
crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")

path = "c:/someDir/example.dat"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The HashBytes method is deprecated:

inData = Chilkat::CkByteData.new()
inData.loadFile(path)

base64_hash = crypt.hashBytesENC(inData)

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

bdIn = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
bdIn.LoadFile(path)

base64_hash = crypt.hashBdENC(bdIn)
