An implementation of the SHA-2 256 hash function with a straightforward interface for computing digests of bytes, files, directories, and more.

## Setup

To use this crate, add the following entry to your `Cargo.toml` file in the `dependencies` section:

```toml
[dependencies]
chksum-sha2-256 = "0.0.0"
```

Alternatively, you can use the [`cargo add`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-add.html) subcommand:

```shell
cargo add chksum-sha2-256
```

## Usage

Use the `chksum` function to calcualate digest of file, directory and so on.

```rust
use chksum_sha2_256 as sha2_256;

let file = File::open(path)?;
let digest = sha2_256::chksum(file)?;
assert_eq!(
    digest.to_hex_lowercase(),
    "44752f37272e944fd2c913a35342eaccdd1aaf189bae50676b301ab213fc5061"
);
```
