See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check for more information.
This package is deprecated. Please use the CRC32 implementation in any of the following libraries:
- CRC32.jl -- interface to the optimized CRC-32 implementation in Zlib
- CRC.jl -- written in pure Julia, supports many CRC variants
- CRC32c standard library -- highly optimized implementation of the closely related CRC-32c checksum
That being said, this package demonstrates a minimal, simple implementation of CRC32 in pure Julia code, which may be of educational interest.
