Description:
Fast CRC routines written in assembly language, callable using the C and Pascal calling conventions, as well as directly from assembly language programs. This Unix port contains routines for the calculation of traditional CRC-32 used by Zmodem, Opus, Ethernet, and many other protocols. It also contains routines for the POSIX 1003.2 32-bit CRC calculation. See ${PREFIX}/share/doc/fastcrc/index.html for reference. This port requires ELF. It creates libfcrc.so.1, and includes <fastcrc.h> for C programmers. Dependencies: nasm
