ComputeHash Method

Computes a hash.

Syntax

hash.computeHash([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method computes a hash of the data specified by InputMessage or InputFile. The algorithm used is specified by Algorithm. The HashValue property will be populated with the computed hash.

The Progress event will fire with updates during this operation.
