LUA MODULE

  digest.crc32 - CRC-32 checksum implemented entirely in Lua.

SYNOPSIS

  local CRC = require 'digest.crc32lua'
  print(CRC.crc32 'test') --> 0xD87F7E0C or -662733300
  
  assert(CRC.crc32('st', CRC.crc32('te')) == CRC.crc32 'test')
  
DESCRIPTION

  This can be used to compute CRC-32 checksums on strings.
  This is similar to [1-2].

API

  Note: in the functions below, checksums are 32-bit integers stored in
  numbers.  The number format currently depends on the bit
  implementation--see DESIGN NOTES below.

  CRC.crc32_byte(byte [, crc]) --> rcrc
  
    Returns CRC-32 checksum `rcrc` of byte `byte` (number 0..255) appended to
    a string with CRC-32 checksum `crc`.  `crc` defaults to 0 (empty string)
    if omitted.

  CRC.crc32_string(s, crc) --> bcrc

    Returns CRC-32 checksum `rcrc` of string `s` appended to
    a string with CRC-32 checksum `crc`.  `crc` defaults to 0 (empty string)
    if omitted.
  
  CRC.crc32(o, crc) --> bcrc

    This invokes `crc32_byte` if `o` is a byte or `crc32_string` if `o`
    is a string.
  
  CRC.bit

    This contains the underlying bit library used by the module.  It
    should be considered a read-only copy.

DESIGN NOTES

  Currently, this module exposes the underlying bit array implementation in CRC
  checksums returned.  In BitOp, bit arrays are 32-bit signed integer numbers
  (may be negative).  In Lua 5.2 'bit32' and 'bit.numberlua', bit arrays are
  32-bit unsigned integer numbers (non-negative).  This is subject to change
  in the future but is currently done due to (unconfirmed) performance
  implications.
  
  On platforms with 64-bit numbers, one way to normalize CRC
  checksums to be unsigned is to do `crcvalue % 2^32`,
  
  The name of this module is inspired by Perl `Digest::CRC*`.

DEPENDENCIES
 
  Requires one of the following bit libraries:

    BitOp "bit" -- bitop.luajit.org -- This is included in LuaJIT and also available
      for Lua 5.1/5.2.  This provides the fastest performance in LuaJIT.
    Lua 5.2 "bit32" -- www.lua.org/manual/5.2 -- This is provided in Lua 5.2
      and is preferred in 5.2 (unless "bit" also happens to be installed).
    "bit.numberlua" (>=000.003) -- https://github.com/davidm/lua-bit-numberlua
      This is slowest and used as a last resort.
      It is only a few times slower than "bit32" though.

DOWNLOAD/INSTALLATION

  If using LuaRocks:
    luarocks install lua-digest-crc32lua

  Otherwise, download <https://github.com/davidm/lua-digest-crc32lua/zipball/master>.
  Alternately, if using git:
    git clone git://github.com/davidm/lua-digest-crc32lua.git
    cd lua-digest-crc32lua
  Optionally unpack:
    ./util.mk
  or unpack and install in LuaRocks:
    ./util.mk install
