Function bytes_of_file

Source 
pub fn bytes_of_file(
    path: &Path,
    num_bytes_from_start: u64,
    kind: Kind,

Expand description

Compute the hash of kind for the bytes in the file at path, hashing only the first num_bytes_from_start while initializing and calling progress.

num_bytes_from_start is useful to avoid reading trailing hashes, which are never part of the hash itself, denoting the amount of bytes to hash starting from the beginning of the file.
