* Package name : golang-github-howeyc-crc16 Version : 0.0~git20171223.2b2a61e-1 Upstream Author : Chris Howey * URL : https://github.com/howeyc/crc16 * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Go Description : Implements the 16-bit cyclic redundancy check, or CRC-16, checksum GoDoc (https://godoc.org/github.com/howeyc/crc16) Build Status (http://travis-ci.org/howeyc/crc16) . CRC16 . A Go package implementing the 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check, or CRC-16, checksum. . Usage . To generate the hash of a byte slice, use the crc16.Checksum() (https://godoc.org/github.com/howeyc/crc16#Checksum) function: . import "github.com/howeyc/crc16" . data := byte("test") checksum := crc16.Checksum(data, crc16.IBMTable) . The package provides the following (https://godoc.org/github.com/howeyc/crc16#pkg-variables) hashing tables. For each of these tables, a shorthand can be used. . // This is the same as crc16.Checksum(data, crc16.IBMTable) checksum := crc16.ChecksumIBM(data) . Using the hash.Hash (https://godoc.org/hash#Hash) interface also works. . h := crc16.New(crc16.IBMTable) data := byte("test") data2 := byte("data") h.Write(data) h.Write(data2) checksum := h.Sum(nil) . Changelog . * 2017.03.27 - Added MBus checksum * 2017.05.27 - Added checksum function without XOR * 2017.12.08 - Implement encoding.BinaryMarshaler and encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler to allow saving and recreating their internal state. -- The rationale for packaging is github.com/howeyc/crc16 is that it is a dependency of github.com/harenber/ptc-go, which will permit enabling PACTOR modem support in pat (winlink), as discussed in #1057276: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1057276
