function createSign

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { createSign } from "node:node__crypto.d.ts"; ```
createSign(
algorithm: string,
options?: stream.WritableOptions,
): Sign
Creates and returns a `Sign` object that uses the given `algorithm`. Use [getHashes](../.././node__crypto.d.ts/~/getHashes) to obtain the names of the available digest algorithms. Optional `options` argument controls the `stream.Writable` behavior. In some cases, a `Sign` instance can be created using the name of a signature algorithm, such as `'RSA-SHA256'`, instead of a digest algorithm. This will use the corresponding digest algorithm. This does not work for all signature algorithms, such as `'ecdsa-with-SHA256'`, so it is best to always use digest algorithm names.

Parameters

algorithm: string
optional
options: stream.WritableOptions
`stream.Writable` options
