Calculate MD5 Hash of File (or SHA1, SHA256, and other hash algorithms)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to calculate a hash for a file's contents. Rust

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let crypt = chilkat::Crypt2::new();

// Set the name of the hash algorithm.
// Other choices include "sha1", "sha256", "sha384", "sha512", "md2", "md5", and "haval". 
crypt.set_hash_algorithm("md5");

// EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the hash output.
// It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
crypt.set_encoding_mode("hex");

// Files of any type may be hashed -- it doesn't matter
// if the file is binary or text...
let hash_str = crypt.hash_file_enc("/temp/something.dat").unwrap_or_default();
if !crypt.last_method_success() {
    println!("{}", crypt.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("{}", hash_str);
