Computes the hash values for files in the specified directory using a concurrent approach.

DESCRIPTION

Get-ConcurrentHash calculates the hash for all the files at the provided folder path using the specified hashing algorithm. The results are written to a specified CSV file. It supports various hash algorithms and allows for concurrent processing to improve performance.

PARAMETERS

• -Path (String[]) Specifies the paths to the files or directories. Wildcards are supported. This parameter is mandatory if the LiteralPath parameter is not provided. Example: -Path "C:\Documents\*"
• -LiteralPath (Alias: PSPath) (String[]) Specifies the path without wildcard expansion. This parameter is mandatory if the Path parameter is not provided. Example: -LiteralPath "C:\Documents"
• -OutputCSV (String) Specifies the output CSV file path where the result will be written. This parameter is mandatory. Example: -OutputCSV "C:\output.csv"
• -Algorithm (String) Specifies the hashing algorithm to be used. Supported values are "SHA1", "SHA256", "SHA384", "SHA512", "MD5". This parameter is optional, and the default value is "MD5". Example: -Algorithm "SHA256"

EXAMPLE

Get-ConcurrentHash -LiteralPath "C:\Documents" -OutputCSV "C:\output.csv" -Algorithm "SHA256"

Calculates the SHA256 hash for all files in the "C:\Documents" directory and its subdirectories and writes the result to "C:\output.csv".

NOTES

The cmdlet supports concurrent processing of files to improve performance.
