Types

type ResumableHash

type ResumableHash interface {
	hash.Hash
	fmt.Stringer
	Copy() (ResumableHash, error)
}

ResumableHash is the intefrace for a hash that can be stored and copied.

Unlike hash implementations in the standard library, it does not implement the encoding.BinaryMarshaler and encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler interfaces; however, it does provide a method for creating a copy of the underlying hash. This allows the hash to be stored, duplicated, and resumed at a later time. For convenience, it also provides a standard method for converting the hash into a string.

func New

func New() ResumableHash

New returns a new ResumableHash computing the SHA1 checksum.
