Class 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.

Constructors

Adler32

public Adler32()

Creates a new Adler32 object.

Methods

update

public void update(int b)

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

Specified by:

update in interface Checksum

Parameters:

b - the byte to update the checksum with

update

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

Updates the checksum with the specified array of bytes.

Specified by:

update in interface Checksum

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

update

public void update(byte[] b)

Updates the checksum with the specified array of bytes.

Parameters:

b - the byte array to update the checksum with

update

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

Since:

1.8

reset

public void reset()

Resets the checksum to initial value.

Specified by:

reset in interface Checksum

getValue

public long getValue()

Returns the checksum value.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Checksum

Returns:

the current checksum value
