Simple program to get sha256 hash

[Paolo Bolzoni]

Dear list,

Today I wanted to play a bit with libgcrypt and I wanted
to make a small program to return the sha256 hash of a
string passed as argument.

The program compiles, links, and gives an output.
However, the output is different than what I get using
sha256sum from coreutils!

Here is what I see in my shell:
$ gcc -o ssha  ./hash.cpp -lgcrypt
$ ./ssha blablabla
a6898dd93b4c6a87e978aea8547fdc3901b7b94d96636e03d5a6194f4491c571
$ sha256sum <<< 'blablabla'
a5edca3a5b8fb54ae61d236a5274626ba6a38781573e02202000158faa707191  -
$

hash.cpp contains the code I copied in the bottom of the email.

What am I missing? Isn't expected to have the same hash code?

Yours faithfully,
Paolo
