  34 --  This package provides routines for computing a commonly used checksum
  35 --  called CRC-32. This is a checksum based on treating the binary data
  36 --  as a polynomial over a binary field, and the exact specifications of
  37 --  the CRC-32 algorithm are as follows:
  38 --
  39 --     Name   : "CRC-32"
  40 --     Width  : 32
  41 --     Poly   : 04C11DB7
  42 --     Init   : FFFFFFFF
  43 --     RefIn  : True
  44 --     RefOut : True
  45 --     XorOut : FFFFFFFF
  46 --     Check  : CBF43926
  47 --
  48 --  Note that this is the algorithm used by PKZip, Ethernet and FDDI.
