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:
48 -- Note that this is the algorithm used by PKZip, Ethernet and FDDI.
