.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdint.h
|
|
.In cryb/hash.h
|
|
.Ft uint16_t
|
|
.Fn fletcher16_hash "const void *data" "size_t len"
|
|
.Ft uint32_t
|
|
.Fn fletcher32_hash "const void *data" "size_t len"
|

|
|
.Fn fletcher64_hash "const void *data" "size_t len"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn cryb_fletcher16_hash ,
|
|
.Fn cryb_fletcher32_hash
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn cryb_fletcher64_hash
|
|
function return a 16-bit, 32-bit or 64-bit checksum of the
|
|
.Va len
|
|
first bytes of the object pointed to by
|
|
.Va data .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Unlike the Pearson hash implemented by
|
|
.Fn cryb_hash
|
|
or cryptographic message digests such as the SHA family, these
|
|
checksums are suitable for error detection.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
Fletcher's paper assumes that the length of the input is a multiple of
|
|
the algorithm's word size (half the output size), and does not specify
|
|
or suggest how to handle odd-length input.
|
|
This implementation zero-pads the input up to the nearest multiple of
|
|
the word size.
|
|
If strict compatibility with other implementations is required, the
|
|
caller should take care to either pad the input or truncate the
|
|
.Va len
|
|
argument before calling the checksum function.
