NAME¶

SDL_crc16 - Calculate a CRC-16 value.

HEADER FILE¶

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

SYNOPSIS¶

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

Uint16 SDL_crc16(Uint16 crc, const void *data, size_t len);

DESCRIPTION¶

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check

This function can be called multiple times, to stream data to be checksummed in blocks. Each call must provide the previous CRC-16 return value to be updated with the next block. The first call to this function for a set of blocks should pass in a zero CRC value.

FUNCTION PARAMETERS¶

crc

the current checksum for this data set, or 0 for a new data set.

data

a new block of data to add to the checksum.

len

the size, in bytes, of the new block of data.

RETURN VALUE¶

( Uint16 ) Returns a CRC-16 checksum value of all blocks in the data set.

THREAD SAFETY¶

It is safe to call this function from any thread.

AVAILABILITY¶

This function is available since SDL 3.2.0.
