Function bytes_of_file

pub fn bytes_of_file(
    path: impl AsRef<Path>,
    num_bytes_from_start: usize,
    kind: Kind,
    progress: &mut impl 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 git-object feature enabled due to usage of the git_hash::Kind enum and the git_hash::ObjectId return value.
• Interrupts are supported.
