FileFingerprint()

Syntax

Result$ = FileFingerprint(Filename$, Plugin [, Bits [, Offset [, Length]]])
Description
Returns a fingerprint for the specified file.

Parameters

FileName$ The file of which the fingerprint should be calculated.
Plugin The plugin to use. It can be one of the following value: 
  #PB_Cipher_CRC32: uses CRC32 algorithm. UseCRC32Fingerprint() needs to be called before to register this plugin.
  #PB_Cipher_MD5  : uses MD5 algorithm. UseMD5Fingerprint() needs to be called before to register this plugin.
  #PB_Cipher_SHA1 : uses SHA1 algorithm. UseSHA1Fingerprint() needs to be called before to register this plugin.
  #PB_Cipher_SHA2 : uses SHA2 algorithm. UseSHA2Fingerprint() needs to be called before to register this plugin.
  #PB_Cipher_SHA3 : uses SHA3 algorithm. UseSHA3Fingerprint() needs to be called before to register this plugin.
Bits (optional) The bits number to use for the fingerprint. It is only supported for the following plugin: 
  #PB_Cipher_SHA2 : can be 224, 256 (default), 384 or 512.
  #PB_Cipher_SHA3 : can be 224, 256 (default), 384 or 512.
Offset (optional) The offset (in bytes) from the start of the file to begin the checksum calculation.
Length (optional) The length (in bytes) to use for the checksum calculation.

Return value

Returns the fingerprint if the calculation was successful. If the file isn't found or an error has happened, the result will be an empty string.
