Function bytes_of_file

pub fn bytes_of_file(
    path: &Path,
    num_bytes_from_start: u64,
    kind: Kind,
    progress: &mut dyn Progress,
    should_interrupt: &AtomicBool,
) -> Result<ObjectId>

Available on crate feature progress and (crate features rustsha1 or fast-sha1) only.

Compute the hash of kind for the bytes in the file at path, hashing only the first num_bytes_from_start while initializing and calling progress.

num_bytes_from_start is useful to avoid reading trailing hashes, which are never part of the hash itself, denoting the amount of bytes to hash starting from the beginning of the file.

Note

• Only available with the gix-object feature enabled due to usage of the gix_hash::Kind enum and the gix_hash::ObjectId return value.
• Interrupts are supported.
