MD5FILE
NAME
md5file - Calculates the md5 hash of a file.
SYNOPSIS
md5file(string,error)
PARAMETERS
- string
- File path.
- error
- If you specified an error variable, then this variable will contain errcode and errmsg. If errcode is not 0, than there is an error. This does not trap error with parameters.

DESCRIPTION
- This is a cryptographic hash injective function. It is used to transform a string into a 32-characters hexadecimal number. This function calculates the message digest-5 of a string. It is a cryptographic hash function used to verify data integrity. A hash function is used to map digital data of some size to digital data with a fixed size. When cryptographic hash function is encountered, it is almost impossible to recreate the input data from the output data, the hash value. It produces a 128-bit hash value.
RETURN
- ash
- Returns the hash as a 32-character hexadecimal number.
EXAMPLES
Note: In the followings examples, the _ between the { should be removed to make it work.
in: res={_{md5file("",false)}}.
out: res=d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.
in: res={_{md5file("test.md5")}}.
out: res=1bc29b36f623ba82aaf6724fd3b16718.
