Zlib.Adler Class Reference

Detailed Description

Computes an Adler-32 checksum.

The Adler checksum is similar to a CRC checksum, but faster to compute, though less reliable. It is used in producing RFC1950 compressed streams. The Adler checksum is a required part of the "ZLIB" standard. Applications will almost never need to use this class directly.

Calculates the Adler32 checksum.

This is used within ZLIB. You probably don't need to use this directly.

To compute an Adler32 checksum on a byte array:

var adler = Adler.Adler32(0, null, 0, 0);
adler = Adler.Adler32(adler, buffer, index, length);
