digest.hash_crc32
Available inall subroutines.
Returns a CRC-32 digest for the string s
. CRC-32 is not a cryptographic
hash and is typically used as a fast error-detecting code for detecting
changes in raw data.
This algorithm is known as CRC-32/BZIP2
.
Example
declare local var.crc32 STRING;set var.crc32 = digest.hash_crc32("123456789");# var.crc32 is now "181989fc"
