35 -- This package provides routines for computing a commonly used checksum
36 -- called CRC-32. This is a checksum based on treating the binary data
37 -- as a polynomial over a binary field, and the exact specifications of
38 -- the CRC-32 algorithm are as follows:
49 -- Note that this is the algorithm used by PKZip, Ethernet and FDDI.
