Detailed Description

An implementation of IFileHasher that calculates MD5 hashes.

This class uses a streaming approach to handle files of any size without consuming large amounts of memory. It is an internal, non-exported class.

Member Function Documentation

HashFile()

std::string scanner::Md5FileHasher::HashFile ( const std::filesystem::path &  file_path )

overridevirtual

Calculates the MD5 hash of a given file.

Opens the file and reads it in chunks, feeding them into the MD5 algorithm.

Parameters

file_path

The path to the file to be hashed.

Returns

A string representing the lowercase hexadecimal MD5 hash.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error	if the file cannot be opened.
std::ios_base::failure	on stream reading errors.

Implements scanner::IFileHasher.
