Intro

|
=====
|
|
|
|
CRC means 'Cyclic Redundancy Check' and is a way to checksum data. It is a simple algorithm based on polynomials and is used in such projects as gzip.
|
|
|
|
This module only works with UTF-8 strings, and is meant to be able to work on node and in the browser.
|
|
|
|
This module also supports append mode (where a running crc sum is stored). Running in regular mode will reset the current crc sum.

var crc32 = require('crc32');

// runs on some string using a table

|
|
|
|
// runs on some string using direct mode
|

crc32(someString, true);
|
|
|
|
// directly run on someString using a table
|

crc32.table(someString);
|
|

// directly run on someString using a table in append mode
|
|
crc32.table(someString, true);

// directly run on someString using direct mode
