# crc32
|
|
Standard CRC-32 algorithm implementation in JS (for the browser and nodejs).
|
Emphasis on correctness, performance, and IE6+ support.
|
|
## Installation
|
|
With [npm](https://www.npmjs.org/package/crc-32):
|
|
```bash
|
$ npm install crc-32
|
```
|
|
In the browser:
|
|
```html
|
<script src="crc32.js"></script>
|
```
|
|
The browser exposes a variable `CRC32`.
|
|
When installed globally, npm installs a script `crc32` that computes the
|
checksum for a specified file or standard input.
|
|
The script will manipulate `module.exports` if available . This is not always
|
desirable. To prevent the behavior, define `DO_NOT_EXPORT_CRC`.
|
|
## Usage
|
|
In all cases, the relevant function takes an argument representing data and an
|
optional second argument representing the starting "seed" (for rolling CRC).
|
|
The return value is a signed 32-bit integer.
|
|
- `CRC32.buf(byte array or buffer[, seed])` assumes the argument is a sequence
|
of 8-bit unsigned integers (nodejs `Buffer`, `Uint8Array` or array of bytes).
|
|
- `CRC32.bstr(binary string[, seed])` assumes the argument is a binary string
|
where byte `i` is the low byte of the UCS-2 char: `str.charCodeAt(i) & 0xFF`
|
|
- `CRC32.str(string[, seed])` assumes the argument is a standard JS string and
|
calculates the hash of the UTF-8 encoding.
|
|
For example:
|
|
```js
|
// var CRC32 = require('crc-32'); // uncomment this line if in node
|
CRC32.str("SheetJS") // -1647298270
|
CRC32.bstr("SheetJS") // -1647298270
|
CRC32.buf([ 83, 104, 101, 101, 116, 74, 83 ]) // -1647298270
|
|
crc32 = CRC32.buf([83, 104]) // -1826163454 "Sh"
|
crc32 = CRC32.str("eet", crc32) // 1191034598 "Sheet"
|
CRC32.bstr("JS", crc32) // -1647298270 "SheetJS"
|
|
[CRC32.str("\u2603"), CRC32.str("\u0003")] // [ -1743909036, 1259060791 ]
|
[CRC32.bstr("\u2603"), CRC32.bstr("\u0003")] // [ 1259060791, 1259060791 ]
|
[CRC32.buf([0x2603]), CRC32.buf([0x0003])] // [ 1259060791, 1259060791 ]
|
```
|
|
## Testing
|
|
`make test` will run the nodejs-based test.
|
|
To run the in-browser tests, run a local server and go to the `ctest` directory.
|
`make ctestserv` will start a python `SimpleHTTPServer` server on port 8000.
|
|
To update the browser artifacts, run `make ctest`.
|
|
To generate the bits file, use the `crc32` function from python `zlib`:
|
|
```python
|
>>> from zlib import crc32
|
>>> x="foo bar baz٪☃🍣"
|
>>> crc32(x)
|
1531648243
|
>>> crc32(x+x)
|
-218791105
|
>>> crc32(x+x+x)
|
1834240887
|
```
|
|
The included `crc32.njs` script can process files or standard input:
|
|
```bash
|
$ echo "this is a test" > t.txt
|
$ bin/crc32.njs t.txt
|
1912935186
|
```
|
|
For comparison, the included `crc32.py` script uses python `zlib`:
|
|
```bash
|
$ bin/crc32.py t.txt
|
1912935186
|
```
|
|
On OSX the command `cksum` generates unsigned CRC-32 with Algorithm 3:
|
|
```bash
|
$ cksum -o 3 < IE8.Win7.For.Windows.VMware.zip
|
1891069052 4161613172
|
$ crc32 --unsigned ~/Downloads/IE8.Win7.For.Windows.VMware.zip
|
1891069052
|
```
|
|
## Performance
|
|
`make perf` will run algorithmic performance tests (which should justify certain
|
decisions in the code).
