-- This package provides routines for computing a commonly used checksum
-- called CRC-32. This is a checksum based on treating the binary data
-- as a polynomial over a binary field, and the exact specifications of
-- the CRC-32 algorithm are as follows:
--
-- Name : "CRC-32"
-- Width : 32
-- Poly : 04C11DB7
-- Init : FFFFFFFF
-- RefIn : True
-- RefOut : True
-- XorOut : FFFFFFFF
-- Check : CBF43926
--
-- Note that this is the algorithm used by PKZip, Ethernet and FDDI.
--
