crcmod.predefined – CRC calculation using predefined algorithms

This module provides a function factory mkPredefinedCrcFun() and a class PredefinedCrc for calculating CRCs of byte strings using common predefined CRC algorithms.

The function factory and the class are very similar to those defined in crcmod, except that the CRC algorithm is specified by a predefined name, rather than the individual polynomial, reflection, and initial and final-XOR parameters.

Predefined CRC algorithms

The crcmod.predefined module offers the following predefined algorithms:

mkPredefinedCrcFun() – CRC function factory

The function factory provides a simple interface for CRC calculation. It is similar to crcmod.mkCrcFun(), except that it specifies a CRC algorithm by name rather than its parameters.

crcmod.predefined.mkPredefinedCrcFun(crc_name)

Function factory that returns a new function for calculating CRCs using a specified CRC algorithm.

Parameter:crc_name (string) – The name of the predefined CRC algorithm to use. Returns:CRC calculation function Return type:function

The function that is returned is the same as that returned by crcmod.mkCrcFun():

.crc_function(data[, crc=initCrc])

Parameters:

• data (byte string) – Data for which to calculate the CRC.
• crc – Initial CRC value.

Returns:

Calculated CRC value.

Return type:

integer

crcmod.predefined.mkCrcFun(crc_name)

This is an alias for crcmod.predefined.mkPredefinedCrcFun(). However, it is not defined when crcmod.predefined is imported using the form:

>>> from crcmod.predefined import *

Examples

CRC-32 example:

>>> import crcmod.predefined

>>> crc32_func = crcmod.predefined.mkCrcFun('crc-32')
>>> hex(crc32_func('123456789'))
'0xcbf43926L'

XMODEM example:

>>> xmodem_crc_func = crcmod.predefined.mkCrcFun('xmodem')
>>> hex(xmodem_crc_func('123456789'))
'0x31c3'

Class PredefinedCrc

This class is inherited from the crcmod.Crc class, and is the same except for the initialization. It specifies a CRC algorithm by name rather than its parameters.

class crcmod.predefined.PredefinedCrc(crc_name)

Returns a new Crc object for calculating CRCs using a specified CRC algorithm.

The parameter is the same as that for the factory function crcmod.predefined.mkPredefinedCrcFun().

Parameter:crc_name (string) – The name of the predefined CRC algorithm to use.

class crcmod.predefined.Crc(poly[, initCrc, rev, xorOut])

This is an alias for crcmod.predefined.PredefinedCrc. However, it is not defined when crcmod.predefined is imported using the form:

>>> from crcmod.predefined import *

Examples

CRC-32 Example:

>>> import crcmod.predefined

>>> crc32 = crcmod.predefined.Crc('crc-32')
>>> crc32.update('123456789')
>>> hex(crc32.crcValue)
'0xcbf43926L'
>>> crc32.hexdigest()
'CBF43926'
