Adler32

public class Adler32 extends Object
implements Checksum

A class that can be used to compute the Adler-32 checksum of a data stream. An Adler-32 checksum is almost as reliable as a CRC-32 but can be computed much faster.

Passing a null argument to a method in this class will cause a NullPointerException to be thrown.

Public Constructors

public Adler32 ()

Creates a new Adler32 object.

Public Methods

public long getValue ()

Returns the checksum value.

Returns

• the current checksum value

public void reset ()

Resets the checksum to initial value.

public void update (byte[] b)

Updates the checksum with the specified array of bytes.

Parameters

b	the byte array to update the checksum with

public void update (ByteBuffer buffer)

Updates the checksum with the bytes from the specified buffer. The checksum is updated using buffer.remaining() bytes starting at buffer.position() Upon return, the buffer's position will be updated to its limit; its limit will not have been changed.

Parameters

buffer	the ByteBuffer to update the checksum with

public void update (byte[] b, int off, int len)

Updates the checksum with the specified array of bytes.

Parameters

b	the byte array to update the checksum with
off	the start offset of the data
len	the number of bytes to use for the update

Throws

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException	if off is negative, or len is negative, or off+len is greater than the length of the array b

public void update (int b)

Updates the checksum with the specified byte (the low eight bits of the argument b).

Parameters

b	the byte to update the checksum with
