NAME

Digest::CRC - Generic CRC functions

SYNOPSIS

# Functional style

use Digest::CRC qw(crc32 crc16 crcccitt crc);
$crc = crc32("123456789");
$crc = crc16("123456789");
$crc = crcccitt("123456789");

$crc = crc($input,$width,$init,$xorout,$refout,$poly,$refin);

# OO style
use Digest::CRC;

$ctx = Digest::CRC->new(type=>"crc16");
$ctx = Digest::CRC->new(width=>16, init=>0x0000, xorout=>0x0000, 
                        poly=>0x8005, refin=>1, refout=>1);

$ctx->add($data);
$ctx->addfile(*FILE);

$digest = $ctx->digest;
$digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
$digest = $ctx->b64digest;

DESCRIPTION

The Digest::CRC module calculates CRC sums of all sorts. It contains wrapper functions with the correct parameters for CRC-CCITT, CRC-16 and CRC-32.
