## Class Adler32

- java.lang.Object
- - java.util.zip.Adler32

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Checksum

      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.

      Creates a new Adler32 object.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### 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
