# Gcrypt.finalHash(3kaya)

Finalise the hash handle

## NAME

Gcrypt::finalHash - Finalise the hash handle

## SYNOPSIS

**Void finalHash(** *HashHandle h* **)**

## ARGUMENTS

**h** A hash handle

## DESCRIPTION

Finalise the hash handle. This is not usually necessary as calling **Gcrypt.getHash (3kaya)** implicitly finalises the handle. Once a handle is finalised, no further **Gcrypt.hashString (3kaya)** or **Gcrypt.hashBinary (3kaya)** operations have any effect until **Gcrypt.resetHash (3kaya)** is used.
