TIdHash160.HashValue@TStream

Calculates a 160-bit hash value for input data.

Parameters 
Description 
AStream 
Stream to use for reading input data for the hash value calculation. 

T5x4LongWordRecord - 160-Bit hash value for the calculation.

HashValue is an overloaded class method used to calculate a 160-bit hash value from input data provided in parameters to the method. 

HashValue creates a TIdStream instance used to write the value in ASrc, and calls the overloaded Stream method. 

As a class method, HashValue does not require an existing instance of TIdHash160 to perform the hash value calculation. 

The stream-based variant of HasHValue is an abstract virtual method, and must be overridden in a descendant class that implements the specifics of a hashing algorithm (like TIdHashSHA1).
