RIPEMD160: ComputeHash

ComputeHash

Computes the hash for a give source.



 Public Function ComputeHash(
	  ByRef Source As Variant,
	  Optional ByRef Index As Variant,
	  Optional ByRef Count As Variant ) As Byte ( ) :

Parameters

Source
[ByRef] Variant. The source to compute the hash for.
Index
[ByRef] Optional. Variant. The starting index in a byte array to begin computing the hash.
Count
[ByRef] Optional. Variant. The number of bytes to use to compute the hash.

Return Values

Byte() -  A 20-byte array containing the computed hash.

Remarks

The Source can be either a byte-array or a Stream object.

If the source is a Stream object, then the hash continues to read the stream until no more data is can be read. The hash is computed from all data read from the stream.
