# `filesha1` Function
|
|
|
|
`filesha1` is a variant of [`sha1`](./sha1.html)
|
|
that hashes the contents of a given file rather than a literal string.
|
|
|
|
This is similar to `sha1(file(filename))`, but
|
|
because [`file`](./file.html) accepts only UTF-8 text it cannot be used to
|
|
create hashes for binary files.
