[PowerShell 7] Get-HashEx - All-in-one file and folder hashing module for Windows PowerShell 7.0+

Get-HashEx.psm1

<#
 .Synopsis
   Hash a file or a folder via the lifestrea- er I mean, bytestream.  Then return the results.

 .Description
   I improved Get-FileHash just a bit.  Hash a file or a folder via the lifestrea- er I mean,
   bytestream.  Then returns the results.  A lot of options, and what ever supported, hardware
   accelerated CryptoStream HashAlgorithm provider you want.  Also with real time progress,
   which you can turn off if you want.

   FEATURES:
     a.  Get cryptographic hash of single file with progress.
     b.  Custom functionality to recursively hash contents of entire folders
     c.  Combined hash for entire folder via recursive hashing.
     d.  Uses the CryptoStream and HashAlgorithm provider for speed.

 .Parameter Path
   The path to the file or folder to compute a hash for.  It can be a relative
   or an absolute path.

 .Parameter Algorithm
   One of System.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm options, as a string.

 .Parameter BufferSize
   Size of the stream buffer in bytes, can perform better depending on your disk.
   Default is 1mb (1048576 bytes), which is good for most SSDs.  For HDDs, you
   should set this to your block size to align reads and writes correctly for
   efficient streaming / protect drive brakes from wear.  Keep your blocks
   aligned to the cylander for best results when using System.IO.Stream asyncronous
   functions.
  
 .Parameter Combine
   Optionally specify this when -Folder switch is also specified.  It will produce a single
   entry containing folder properties and the accumulated hash (Transformed hash)

 .Parameter NoProgress
   Optionally specify this flag to surpress progress output.
  
 .Parameter Folder
   Optionally specify this flag to indicate that the Path parameter specified is a folder
   that should be recursively hashed.

Export-Module -Function Get-HashEx

Very nice, seem to have issues with paths that have '[' in them though, I've tried escaping these brackets with no luck

Seem to be able to fix this by changing line 173 to -LiteralPath rather than just -Path

This errored for me because it didn't recognize Export-Module - I changed it to Export-ModuleMember and it worked. Was this a typo, or was the function renamed at some point?

Here's the exact error I got:

Import-Module Get-HashEx
Export-Module : The term 'Export-Module' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
