Digest CRC
Description
Adds support for calculating Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) to the Digest module.
Features
- Provides support for the following CRC algorithms:
- Pure Ruby implementation.
- Provides CRC Tables for optimized calculations.
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.
