Function ssdeep::hash_from_file

pub fn hash_from_file<P: AsRef<Path>>(file_path: P) -> Option<String>

Computes the fuzzy hash of a file.

Returns the fuzzy hash of the given file. When an error occurs, it returns None.

Examples

let h = ssdeep::hash_from_file("tests/file.txt").unwrap();
assert_eq!(h, "48:9MABzSwnjpDeSrLp8+nagE4f3ZMvcDT0MIhqy6Ic:9XMwnjdeSHS+n5ZfScX0MJ7");

Panics

If the path to the file cannot be converted into bytes or it contains a null byte.

Implementation details

Internally, it calls the fuzzy_hash_filename() function from the underlying C library. A non-zero return value is translated into None.
