Description

hash provides a way to hash binary data, i.e. produce a shorter value, that is highly content dependent, so even slightly different content will produce widely different hashes.

Hash functions are useful for implementing maps, caches etc.

Available submodules

• hash.adler32 - Adler-32 (RFC 1950 checksum used by zlib)
• hash.crc32 - CRC-32 variants (IEEE 802.3 crc32, Castagnoli crc32c, Koopman crc32k, CRC-32Q crc32q)
• hash.crc64 - CRC-64-ECMA-182
• hash.fnv1a - Fowler-Noll-Vo hashes
