## hash-file
### Instructions
Create a function `hashFile(fpath)` that given the name of a file in the current folder, expected to be a string, returns the hash `sha256` of the content of this file as a string.
Here an example on how you should make your function used from external scripts:
```js
exports.hasFile = ...
```
### Usage
Here below an example of `main.js` script to test the usage of the `hashFile` function:
```js
const hash = await hashFile('textfile.txt')
console.log(hash)
```
And its usage:
```console
$ cat textfile.txt
