As of SWI-Prolog 7.4, library(crypto) provides built-in predicates for computing hashes of data and files.

I have uploaded a primer that contains more information about various options and encodings:

Please consider using library(crypto) as a more portable alternative to calling external programs.

Thank you for your work on biomake!

By the way, crypto_file_hash/3 works incrementally and does not load the entire file into memory.
