An implementation of the SHA-2 512 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-sha2-512 = "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-sha2-512
```

## Usage

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

```rust
use chksum_sha2_512 as sha2_512;

let file = File::open(path)?;
let digest = sha2_512::chksum(file)?;
assert_eq!(
    digest.to_hex_lowercase(),
    "ed59c5759a9ece516cec0c0623142d0e9fe70a27d750eee7fd38f4550d50addd873d0fa1a51fc823c1e3d5cada203f4a05d8325caacb7d3e0727a701f3f07e5f"
