Predefined polynomials.

const Size = 4

The size of a CRC-32 checksum in bytes.

Variables

var IEEETable = makeTable(IEEE)

IEEETable is the table for the IEEE polynomial.

Functions

func Checksum

func Checksum(data []byte, tab *Table) uint32

Checksum returns the CRC-32 checksum of data using the polynomial represented by the Table.

func ChecksumIEEE

func ChecksumIEEE(data []byte) uint32

ChecksumIEEE returns the CRC-32 checksum of data using the IEEE polynomial.

func New

func New(tab *Table) hash.Hash32

New creates a new hash.Hash32 computing the CRC-32 checksum using the polynomial represented by the Table.

func NewIEEE

func NewIEEE() hash.Hash32

NewIEEE creates a new hash.Hash32 computing the CRC-32 checksum using the IEEE polynomial.

func Update

func Update(crc uint32, tab *Table, p []byte) uint32

Update returns the result of adding the bytes in p to the crc.

Types

type Table

type Table [256]uint32

Table is a 256-word table representing the polynomial for efficient processing.

func MakeTable

func MakeTable(poly uint32) *Table

MakeTable returns the Table constructed from the specified polynomial.
