_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This package provides a Tcl-only implementation of the CRC algorithms based upon information provided at http://www.microconsul-
tants.com/tips/crc/crc.txt There are a number of permutations available for calculating CRC checksums and this package can handle all of
them. Defaults are set up for the most common cases.
COMMANDS
::crc::crc16 ?-format format? ?-seed value? ?-implementation procname? message
::crc::crc16 ?-format format? ?-seed value? ?-implementation procname? -filename file
::crc::crc-ccitt ?-format format? ?-seed value? ?-implementation procname? message
::crc::crc-ccitt ?-format format? ?-seed value? ?-implementation procname? -filename file
::crc::xmodem ?-format format? ?-seed value? ?-implementation procname? message
::crc::xmodem ?-format format? ?-seed value? ?-implementation procname? -filename file
The command takes either string data or a file name and returns a checksum value calculated using the CRC algorithm. The command
used sets up the CRC polynomial, initial value and bit ordering for the desired standard checksum calculation. The result is format-
ted using the format(n) specifier provided or as an unsigned integer (%u) by default.
A number of common polynomials are in use with the CRC algorithm and the most commonly used of these are included in this package.
For convenience each of these has a command alias in the crc namespace.
It is possible to implement the CRC-32 checksum using this crc16 package as the implementation is sufficiently generic to extend to
32 bit checksums. As an example this has been done already - however this is not the fastest method to implement this algorithm in
Tcl and a separate crc32 package is available.
OPTIONS -filename name
Return a checksum for the file contents instead of for parameter data.
-format string
Return the checksum using an alternative format template.
-seed value
Select an alternative seed value for the CRC calculation. The default is 0 for the CRC16 calculation and 0xFFFF for the CCITT ver-
sion. This can be useful for calculating the CRC for data structures without first converting the whole structure into a string.
The CRC of the previous member can be used as the seed for calculating the CRC of the next member. It is also used for accumulating
a checksum from fragments of a large message (or file)
-implementation procname
This hook is provided to allow users to provide their own implementation (perhaps a C compiled extension). The procedure specfied is
called with two parameters. The first is the data to be checksummed and the second is the seed value. An integer is expected as the
result.
The package provides some implementations of standard CRC polynomials for the XMODEM, CCITT and the usual CRC-16 checksum. For con-
venience, additional commands have been provided that make use of these implementations.
