CRC32c
CRC32c.crc32c
— Functioncrc32c(data, crc::UInt32=0x00000000)
Compute the CRC-32c checksum of the given data
, which can be an Array{UInt8}
, a contiguous subarray thereof, or a String
. Optionally, you can pass a starting crc
integer to be mixed in with the checksum. The crc
parameter can be used to compute a checksum on data divided into chunks: performing crc32c(data2, crc32c(data1))
is equivalent to the checksum of [data1; data2]
. (Technically, a little-endian checksum is computed.)
There is also a method crc32c(io, nb, crc)
to checksum nb
bytes from a stream io
, or crc32c(io, crc)
to checksum all the remaining bytes. Hence you can do open(crc32c, filename)
to checksum an entire file, or crc32c(seekstart(buf))
to checksum an IOBuffer
without calling take!
.
For a String
, note that the result is specific to the UTF-8 encoding (a different checksum would be obtained from a different Unicode encoding). To checksum an a::Array
of some other bitstype, you can do crc32c(reinterpret(UInt8,a))
, but note that the result may be endian-dependent.
CRC32c.crc32c
— Methodcrc32c(io::IO, [nb::Integer,] crc::UInt32=0x00000000)
Read up to nb
bytes from io
and return the CRC-32c checksum, optionally mixed with a starting crc
integer. If nb
is not supplied, then io
will be read until the end of the stream.
