Function Get-FileHash {

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Calculate file hash or checksum.

.DESCRIPTION
This command will compute a checksum or filehash for one or more files. The default hashing
algorithm is MD5 but you can also specify SHA1 or SHA256. The command will write a custom
object to the pipeline like this:

Date     : 3/30/2011 2:31:42 PM
FullName : C:\scripts\get-filehash.ps1
FileHash : 26B527B37717E2F1A85BD91EF40BCBBE
HashType : MD5
Filename : get-filehash.ps1
Size     : 9244

NOTE: You must have permissions to read the file. This will work with system and read-only
files but not with hidden files unless you use -FORCE.
.PARAMETER PSPath
The filename and path of the file to compute. This has aliases of name,file, and path.

.PARAMETER Type
The hashing algorithm. The default is MD5. Other options are SHA1 and SHA256.

.PARAMETER Force
Process hidden files.

.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Get-Filehash $profile
Date     : 3/30/2011 2:29:09 PM
FullName : C:\Users\Jeff\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShellISE_profile.ps1
FileHash : C68E7BC1755A59EABB0C4BFC12A98C0B
HashType : MD5
Filename : Microsoft.PowerShellISE_profile.ps1
Size     : 2760

Return the file hash of the PowerShell profile script.
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> dir c:\scripts\ -recurse -include *.ps*,*.vbs,*.bat | Get-Filehash | Export-CLIXML E:\ScriptsHash.xml
Get file hashes for all scripts and export to an XML file.
