Digest::CRC version 0.22
========================

NAME
    Digest::CRC - Generic CRC functions

DESCRIPTION
    The Digest::CRC module calculates CRC sums of all sorts.  It contains
    wrapper functions with the correct parameters for CRC-CCITT, CRC-16 and
    CRC-32.

SYNOPSIS
    # Functional style

    use Digest::CRC qw(crc32 crc16 crcccitt crc);
    $crc = crc32("123456789");
    $crc = crc16("123456789");
    $crc = crcccitt("123456789");

    $crc = crc($input,$width,$init,$xorout,$poly,$refin,$refout);

    # OO style
    use Digest::CRC;

    $ctx = Digest::CRC->new(type=>"crc16");
    $ctx = Digest::CRC->new(width=>16, init=>0x0000, xorout=>0x0000,
                            poly=>0x8005, refin=>1, refout=>1);
    $ctx->add($data);
    $ctx->addfile(*FILE);

    $digest = $ctx->digest;
    $digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
    $digest = $ctx->b64digest;
