# 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).

The [`adler-32` project](http://git.io/adler32) has more performance notes
