crc16(n) 1.0.1 "Cyclic Redundancy Check (crc16)"
crc16 - Perform a 16bit Cyclic Redundancy Check
package require Tcl 8.2
package require crc16 ?1.0.1?
This package provides a Tcl-only implementation of the CRC
algorithms based upon information provided at
http://www.microconsultants.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.
- ::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
-
The command takes 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 formatted
using the format(n) specifier provided or as an unsigned integer
(%u) by default.
- -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 version.
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.
