NAME
tcl::transform::crc32 - Crc32 transformationSYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.6package require tcl::transform::core ?1?
package require tcl::transform::crc32 ?1?
::tcl::transform::crc32 chan -option value...
DESCRIPTION
The tcl::transform::crc32 package provides a command creating a channel transformation which passes the read and written bytes through unchanged (like tcl::transform::identity), but additionally continuously computes the crc32 checksums of the data it has seen for each direction and stores them in Tcl variables specified at construction time. The checksum in question is zlib's crc32.
Related transformations in this module are tcl::transform::adler32, tcl::transform::counter, tcl::transform::identity, and tcl::transform::observe.
The internal TclOO class implementing the transform handler is a sub-class of the tcl::transform::core framework.
API
- ::tcl::transform::crc32 chan -option value...
-
This command creates a crc32 checksumming transformation on top of
the channel chan and returns its handle. The accepted options are
-
- -read-variable varname
-
The value of the option is the name of a global or namespaced
variable, the location where the transformation has to store the
crc32 checksum of the data read from the channel.
If not specified, or the empty string, the checksum of the read direction is not saved.
- -write-variable varname
-
The value of the option is the name of a global or namespaced
variable, the location where the transformation has to store the
crc32 checksum of the data written to the channel.
If not specified, or the empty string, the checksum of the write direction is not saved.
