# `filesha256` Function
|
|
|
|
`filesha256` is a variant of [`sha256`](/language/functions/sha256)
|
|
that hashes the contents of a given file rather than a literal string.
|
|
|
|
This is similar to `sha256(file(filename))`, but
|
|
because [`file`](/language/functions/file) accepts only UTF-8 text it cannot be used to
|
|
create hashes for binary files.
