Difference between hash & hashed file

I have a doubt in hash file. Please excuse me if it is very basic.

I find the term hash file & hashed file being used in the forum in all messages.

Could anyone please say me the diffference if any between hash & hashed files.

No such thing as a 'hash file', unless - as Ray is likely to say - you are planning on shaping a block of hash. The proper terminology is 'hashed file'.

Thanks a lot Chulett. All these days I have using the term hash file only. From now on I will change and use as hashed file.

Yay!! :applause:

"Hash" file is just plain wrong. Unfortunately, it's wrong even in some of the vendor's documentation.
