## Detailed Description

SHA-256 secure hash generator.

Create one of these objects from a block of source data or a stream, and it calculates the SHA-256 hash of that data.

You can retrieve the hash as a raw 32-byte block, or as a 64-digit hex string.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## SHA256() [1/7]

SHA256::SHA256 | ( |  | ) |

Creates an empty SHA256 object.

The default constructor just creates a hash filled with zeros. (This is not equal to the hash of an empty block of data).

## ~SHA256()

SHA256::~SHA256 | ( |  | ) |

Destructor.

## SHA256() [2/7]

SHA256::SHA256 | ( | const SHA256 & |  | ) |

Creates a copy of another SHA256.

## SHA256() [3/7]

SHA256::SHA256 | ( | const MemoryBlock & | data | ) |

explicit

Creates a hash from a block of raw data.

## SHA256() [4/7]

SHA256::SHA256 | ( | const void * | data,
|  | size_t | numBytes
| ) |  |

Creates a hash from a block of raw data.

## SHA256() [5/7]

SHA256::SHA256 | ( | InputStream & | input,
|  | int64 | maxBytesToRead = `-1`
| ) |  |

Creates a hash from the contents of a stream.

This will read from the stream until the stream is exhausted, or until maxBytesToRead bytes have been read. If maxBytesToRead is negative, the entire stream will be read.

## SHA256() [6/7]

SHA256::SHA256 | ( | const File & | file | ) |

explicit

Reads a file and generates the hash of its contents.

If the file can't be opened, the hash will be left uninitialised (i.e. full of zeros).

## SHA256() [7/7]

SHA256::SHA256 | ( | CharPointer_UTF8 | utf8Text | ) |

explicit noexcept

Creates a checksum from a UTF-8 buffer.

E.g.

SHA256 checksum (myString.toUTF8());

## Member Function Documentation

## operator=()

SHA256& SHA256::operator= | ( | const SHA256 & |  | ) |

Copies another SHA256.

## getRawData()

MemoryBlock SHA256::getRawData | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the hash as a 32-byte block of data.

## toHexString()

String SHA256::toHexString | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the checksum as a 64-digit hex string.

## operator==()

bool SHA256::operator== | ( | const SHA256 & |  | ) | const

noexcept

## operator!=()

bool SHA256::operator!= | ( | const SHA256 & |  | ) | const

noexcept
