# b2sum
[](https://crates.io/crates/b2sum-rust)
A **Pure Rust Library** For Hashing Files using Blake2b with any given digest size.
It takes advantage of the crates [filebuffer](https://github.com/ruuda/filebuffer) and [Blake2-rfc](https://crates.io/crates/blake2-rfc), with filebuffer providing more speed than the `std::io` primitive.
## Example
Make sure to add `b2sum-rust` to your cargo.toml
```rust
use b2sum_rust::Blake2bSum;
fn main(){
// Creates a new File Instance with a digest size of 64 bytes
let context = Blake2bSum::new(64);
// Outputs a Hexadecimal String
let hash = context.read("example_file.txt");
// Converts the hexadecimal string to a vector of bytes
let _bytes = Blake2bSum::as_bytes(&hash);
// Prints The Hexadecimal Representation
println!("Hash: {}",hash);
}
```

This crates name is not `b2sum`. That crate is a command-line hashing tool. This crate is a library that provides API for implementing hashing of files into other projects. This crates name is `b2sum-rust`.
