Digest CRC

Description

Adds support for calculating Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to the Digest module.

Features

Install

$ gem install digest-crc

Examples

Calculate a CRC32:

require 'digest/crc32'

Digest::CRC32.hexdigest('hello')
# => "3610a686"

Calculate a CRC32 of a file:

Digest::CRC32.file('README.md')
# => #<Digest::CRC32: 127ad531>

Incrementally calculate a CRC32:

crc = Digest::CRC32.new
crc << 'one'
crc << 'two'
crc << 'three'
crc.hexdigest
# => "09e1c092"

Directly access the checksum:

crc.checksum
# => 165789842

Thanks

Special thanks go out to the pycrc library which is able to generate C source-code for all of the CRC algorithms, including their CRC Tables.
